* {{Kotatsu}}: Once winter comes around, Syalis goes around the castle gathering materials to make one. In a later chapter, she gets turned into a cat by accident and uses her reduced size as an opportunity to fit her entire body under the kotatsu for a nap.

* InnocentInnuendo: The Princess ends up causing a mass nosebleed epidemic in chapter 40 by asking everyone if they love her (because it was Valentine's Day and she wanted chocolate to help her fall asleep, having no idea what it means when a girl her age asks people if they love her).

Tragedy has struck the human kingdom, for their beloved princess has been captured by the vile Demon King who has declared that he will only return her if the humans surrender the world to him.
What evils will Princess Syalis have to face while she waits for a brave and strong hero to rescue her?--is what the humans wonder, but the princess is more concerned with finding a nice place to get a good night's rest, and woe to anyone who gets in her way.
''Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle'' (''Maou-jou de Oyasumi'', also known as ''Sweet Dreams in the Demon Castle'' and ''Sleeping Princess''), is a genre mix of SliceOfLife and high fantasy by Kumanomata Kagiji. Creator/VIZMedia has licensed the manga for English release.

!Tropes:
* AnthropomorphicPersonification:
** The spirit of the grimoire [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Al Azif]] manifests as a young boy in Ancient Egyptian-style clothing.
** Morpheus describes himself as being like the embodiment of sleepiness.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever:
** The Princess in chapter 59, although it's only temporary.
** In chapter 61, the Eggplant Seal evolves into a larger form. A ''much'' larger form.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: According to the volume 2 extras, the baku wanted quantity over quality for nightmares... then the Princess showed up, and he ended up getting so many nightmares he got indigestion.
* BearyFriendly: The Forehead Devils, which're pretty much [[Toys/TeddyBear teddy bears]] with wings that are the universe's version of TheGoomba. The Princess tames them early on with her brushing technique and sometimes involves them in her schemes to fall asleep.
* CainAndAbel: Hades, the Demon King's elder brother, thinks he should have become king when their father died, and plans to take his brother's throne.
* CardboardPrison: The demons might as well leave the Princess's cell door open for all the good it does. Later on, they just stop caring as long as she isn't wreaking havoc.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: In a manner of speaking. The princess and the hero are childhood friends and are engaged... but the princess doesn't even remember the hero's face or name (and doesn't really care to remember) because he apparently made so little of an impression on her when they were young (her image of his face is {{henohenomoheji}}, representing anonymity).
