I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It is the second studio album by English rock band The 1975. It was released on 26 February 2016.

In 2014, frontman Matthew Healy began releasing a series of cryptic tweets revealing lyrics from the album, and its title the following year. The band then officially announced and verified the album in September 2015, a month before "Love Me" was released as the lead single. During the course of five months, three more singles were released, with "A Change of Heart" released four days prior to its release.

Upon its release, the album received positive reviews from critics. The album was a commercial success, topping both the United Kingdom and the United States. Its box set received a nomination for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package at the 2017 Grammy Awards.

After the release of the band's self-titled debut, in 2013, they spent 2015 mostly recording a follow-up.

On 1 June, the band's accounts were deleted, which caused mass speculation from both fans and media alike that the band had broken up. On 2 June, Healy tweeted again, but revealed a cryptic and symbolic comic strip containing the message that the band had gone on hiatus. A blurred Instagram picture from Healy titled "The 1975-2" set anticipation for release. The same day, the social media accounts were reinstated.

The tweet by Healy was verified as the name for their second album later in October 2015 with "Love Me" (a "very funky new single") released on 8 October.

They cited D'Angelo, Christina Aguilera, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Roberta Flack, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, Boards of Canada, Kim Carnes, Scritti Politti, and Sigur Rós as inspirations for the record's 17 tracks. The album's sound has been described as dance-pop,dance-rock,indie rock,jazz,pop,pop punk,post-rock,R&B and soul.
