When are you sleeping vs when will you sleep

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'When are you sleeping?' is used to ask about someone's current or habitual sleeping schedule, while 'When will you sleep?' is used to inquire about a future sleeping time. Therefore, the choice between the two depends on whether you are asking about the present or the future.
