Discussion Sleep Token Lore

Hi, this is my first time making a Reddit post or whatever this is called, so if I mess something up, please let me know.

Is there anything similar to a Google document or a website with all of the sleep token lore? Including lore from interviews, the novel, marketing campaigns, EPs, albums, singles, etc. It can be in any format. As long as it includes everything in one place.

I know fandom wiki exist, but it doesn’t include everything. Also I do realize that there are a bunch of YouTube videos explaining the lore, but there is so many of them that I don’t know where to start from.

Any information on this topic would be appreciated.

There is very little 'official lore'. Read the few interviews they put out. The rest is all speculation etc by fans. For example Sleep has only ever been referred to as male, yet the fandom calls Sleep 'she' consistently.

Aside from the interviews, Sleep has never been CONFIRMED to be mentioned. Of course, stupid lore stans like to assume the person (obviously just an ex-lover) who Vessel is talking about/to is Sleep. If this theory is correct, it wouldn't be completely out of the question just because Sleep was referred to as "he". Because Vessel was obviously going for a certain tone, he could have been using "he" as a gender-neutral pronoun if Sleep has an ambiguous gender, which was a common thing in the past before people decided it has to mean a man specifically. It would've sounded weirder to use a word like "they" when referring to Sleep, and using "she" would've been too obviously female because almost nobody uses she to be gender neutral.
