"How Do You Sleep?" is a song by English rock musician John Lennon from his 1971 album Imagine.
The song makes scathing personal attacks aimed at his former Beatles bandmate and songwriting partner, Paul McCartney. Lennon wrote the song in response to what he perceived as personal slights by McCartney on the latter's Ram album, particularly on the song "Too Many People".
The track includes a slide guitar solo played by George Harrison, and was co-produced by Lennon, Phil Spector and Yoko Ono.
