think it comes from the phrase "eepy"(meaning sleepy), so an "eeper" is someone who makes others "eepy" (makes no sense grammatically but whatever)

An eeper is someone who makes people eepy. Makes perfect grammatical sense.

The fact that someone could be an eeper and themselves be sleeping is just a bonus.
