Sleep Is for the Week is the debut studio album by the English singer-songwriter Frank Turner, released on 15 January 2007 on Xtra Mile Recordings. The album was produced by Turner's guitarist Ben Lloyd, and recorded between August and September 2006 at the Oxford home of Turner's bass guitarist Tarrant Anderson. Drummer Nigel Powell appears throughout the album, with Lloyd, Anderson and Powell all going on to become Turner's regular backing band, later named the Sleeping Souls.
In a 2008 interview, Turner described the album as "a snapshot of pretty much exactly one year of my life". The album's artwork was created by Chris Pell.
