The band revolves around frontman David Debiak. Sleep Station began in 2001, with David Debiak having the intention of producing a movie. Unable to obtain funds to do so, he opted to write a soundtrack to the non-existent movie instead. The result was the concept album Anhedonia.
While some subsequent Sleep Station albums have been recorded with a full band (After the War, The Pride of Chester James), others have essentially been David Debiak solo albums (Von Cosel, The Blood of Our Our Fathers), featuring very little, if any, instrumentation other than David Debiak's own guitar playing.
Sleep Station is known for its concept albums; to date, all Sleep Station releases have called "rock operas" by some critics. David Debiak himself, however, has stated that he is not trying to tell a story in his songs, stating in a MySpace bulletin "Every record I have done as Sleep Station has been thematic in its nature, not trying to tell a story but just create a mood". Unconventional love affairs and war are common lyrical themes in Sleep Station's music.
Following the release of the album After the War in 2004, Sleep Station went on hiatus, with David Debiak starting a side project, New London Fire, with his brother Jason Debiak.
In 2008, Sleep Station returned from hiatus with the album The Pride of Chester James, an album about a fictional circus drifter who shows up in a small town.

Sleep Station Lyrics
Chicago We were young and you were tugging on my sleeve,…
Cold Again Go forward, and maybe, we'll stop and see the whole…
For You Must be going somewhere, off the open road, the sun…
Frustration of Leaving Now that they left here I'm saving, probably waiting, stay…
If Heaven Will Have Me Someday I will die. It all depends on how you…
Land and Come For Us Maybe the sky has fallen too. It wouldn't be right…
Leave It All Behind Baby shows her wings again. I don't think I can…
Liars Are For It would be crazy if you did, but I'm allowed…
Silver Hills Before we go in I'd like to see if I…
