i'm no expert on kernels but i'm just learning about sleepers as well. from what i know it basically sets how well your phone sleeps and when to wake the phone up for certain processes.
here is a good article about the sleeping policy of kernels:http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2965/hotninja.jpg

i meant to post this link:
Linux-Kernel Archive: Re: [RFC][PATCH] sched: avoid huge bonus to sleepers on busymachines
it is equally confusing as well. but you can still get a picture on what sleepers do.
i really must lay off the sauce at night sometimes. LMOA!!!!!
