Realizing you resisted a charm or sleep spell

If a target succeesfully made a WIL saving throw against a charm or sleep spell and has no other way of knowing that the spell was cast will it recognize that someone tried to charm it or put it to sleep?

Not for charm, no. A successful save specifically says they don't realize you were casting against them. They need a crit success for that.

Sleep doesn't have that language, but also has a pretty subtle effect... So GM discretion there.
