Sleepers are the beams used for the floor joist in a barn. Sleepers are most often hewn on the top and bottom and have natural edges on the sides. An advantage to a sleeper vs. upper framing is that there are no mortise holes on sleepers and they have long lengths. Sleepers are also used as replacements or to rebuild a log home.
