The present participle is verb + ing. So for sleep the present participle is sleeping.

The present participle is used with continuous tenses eg present continuous and past continuous.

Present continuous -- I am sleeping, He is sleeping, we are sleeping

past continuous -- I was sleeping, He was sleeping, we were sleeping.

Some longer sentences;

The boys are sleeping over at Jack's house tonight. We were sleeping outside when the storm came.
