Why sleepovers called sleepovers?

Why do they call it a sleepover when you have a bunch of kids spending the night together and sleep is the last thing on their minds?

Ryan just came back from a Girl Scout Regional Sleepover and looks like a Zombie. They didn't sleep a wink even when it was lights out (at 4 a.m.) they giggled and made themselves stay awake.

I vote that the name is changed to stay awake over!

Lol, sounds like the proper goofy fun time was had by all.

Oh, those were great weren't they? Now when I stay over a friend's house I go to bed at 10:00, how sad!

Do you remember any good things that happened at sleep over in those wee hours of the morning? I remember singing and singing and singing! And eating black licorice jelly beans and lemonheads. They were all the rage...
