The song features Paul Buchanan from fellow Scottish musical group the Blue Nile. "Sleep" was released on 9 January 2006 in three different formats: two audio CD singles and a DVD single. The song peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, and as of 2021, it remains their last UK top-40 hit.

Music video



The music video was directed by Peter Kay and featured him as well as Sian Gibson. The scenes, which are set in a school, were filmed at Harper Green School, in Farnworth, Bolton. The video features spoofs of the clay-sculpting moment from the 1984 Lionel Richie music video for "Hello", the pottery scene from the 1990 film 'Ghost', and the ending of the 1982 film 'An Officer and a Gentleman', where Richard Gere picks up Debra Winger.
