Some animals sleep a lot. Cats, for instance, sleep 15-18 hours per day (and look adorable while doing so). Sleepy would definitely be appropriate for them, and for felinoid humans like catgirls.

A couple of weeks ago I joined a campaign and took Slow Riser for a PC. We'll see how this goes. Usually I aim for Less Sleep, but have at multiple times considered combining Less Sleep and Slow Riser, for those characters who sleep little but do make a fuss about sudden timetable changes.

I've mostly stuck it on one or two alien races. The most memorable Example also had decreased time rate, so it was very much an npc race

I've played a character who had Extra Sleep, Slow Riser, and Disciplines of Faith - Martial Artist

So amount of time available for Productive Use greatly restricted

Sometimes this was very restrictive, sometimes not so much, how much it impacted a given adventure varied by adventure
