A sleepover is a social occasion whereby a young person stays overnight at another young person's house. A pajama party or slumber party is essentially the same, but may involve multiple people.
A sleepover is an event when a child, without adult presence, spends the night in the presence of other children. The sleepover is often seen as a rite of passage for a young child or teenager, as she/he begin to assert independence and to develop social connections outside the immediate family.
Beginning in the 1990s, commentators wrote about a perceived new trend of parents endorsing sleepovers for teenagers, with both boys and girls staying overnight together. While some writers decried the trend, others defended it as a safer alternative to teenage dating outside the house.
