The sleep condition (SLP) (Japanese: ねむり Sleeping) causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. In Generation V, Pokémon close their eyes when they are asleep, and their movement slows down.

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Pictures of a Pokémon sleeping in each generation |
Freezing causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move for an indeterminate number of moves. The specifics vary between generations.
Generation I
Sleep lasts for a randomly chosen duration of 1 to 5 turns (1 to 3 in Stadium). A Pokémon cannot move on the turn it wakes up. A Pokémon can inflict self-induced sleep using the move Rest, which will restore all of the Pokémon's health and remove any other non-volatile status ailment. A disobedient Pokémon may also nap during battle.
Sleeping Pokémon are vulnerable to Dream Eater.
Generation II onwards
A Pokémon can move on the turn it woke up.
In addition to Dream Eater, sleeping Pokémon are now vulnerable to Nightmare.
Generation III onwards
Animation shows up on every turn the Pokémon is asleep (in contrast to previous generations, where animation showed up only when sleep was inflicted).
Generation IV onwards
In the Japanese version of Diamond and Pearl, the minimum and maximum sleep count is 1 turn higher. [1]
In addition to Dream Eater and Nightmare, sleeping Pokémon are now vulnerable to Darkrai's ability, Bad Dreams.
Generation V
In Generation V, a Pokémon's sleep counter is reset to its original amount when switched out; this also applies for self-induced sleep. Also in Generation V, Pokémon close their eyes while sleeping and they move slower as well.

Other causes
The ability Effect Spore can cause either sleeping, Poison, or Paralysis.
Prevention and curing
Items
Being put to sleep can be cured with the use of an Awakening or a Chesto Berry (Mint Berry in Generation II). In addition, like all other major status ailments, it can be cured by the items Full Heal, Lava Cookie, Full Restore, Old Gateau, Heal Powder, Lum Berry, Casteliacone, and Sacred Ash.
Moves
Heal Bell and Aromatherapy also removes it from all Pokémon in the party.Safeguard will prevent the user's team from being afflicted by any status ailment for five turns and a Pokémon behind a Substitute cannot be put to sleep (other than using Rest).
Abilities
Pokémon with the abilities Vital Spirit and Insomnia cannot be put to sleep. In a similar vein, Pokémon with the abilty Leaf Guard cannot be put to sleep if the weather is intensely sunny. A Pokémon with Natural Cure will be cured upon switching out, one with the Hydration ability will be cured while it is raining, one with Early Bird halves the amount of turns it is asleep, one with Shed Skin has a 1/3 chance of being cured every turn, and an ally with Healer has a 1/3 chance of curing an ally's ailment every turn during double and triple battles.
Benefits
The moves Snore and Sleep Talk can only be used while asleep. Pokémon with Guts and Quick Feet will have their Attack or Speed boosted respectively while they are asleep, but must use the aforementioned moves to completely reap their benefits. On the other hand, Pokémon with the ability Marvel Scale will have their Defense boosted, and do not need to use these moves.
In the anime
