“was asleep” and “was sleeping” are both correct. “were sleeping” is incorrect because “everyone” is grammatically singular.
“information” is an uncountable noun, so “informations” is always wrong. “a lot of information” is correct.
Thanks! I understand now. But I would ask you, between was asleep and was sleeping which one would be better in this sentence.

They are equally good and mean the same.
