still slept vs still sleeping

Both 'still slept' and 'still sleeping' are correct, but 'Still slept' refers to the past tense of the verb 'sleep,' indicating that someone was sleeping at a particular time in the past, and 'still sleeping' is the present participle form of the verb 'sleep,' indicating that someone is currently in a state of sleep.
