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.

Causes
Moves
|
Other causes
The ability Effect Spore can cause either sleeping, Poison, or Paralysis. A disobedient Outsider Pokémon may take a nap instead of obeying commands.
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. In Generation I games and its remakes, Poké Flute can be reused indefinitely, while Blue Flute can be used in Generation III and IV games.
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). Wake-up Slap's base power increases when used on sleeping targets, but wakes them up. Pokémon hit with Worry Seed have their ability temporarily changed to Insomnia, effectively preventing them from sleeping, and waking already asleep targets. It can target both friends and foes, but not the user, or Pokémon with the abilities Truant or Multitype. No Pokémon can sleep while one of them is using the continuous move Uproar.
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 (even if self-afflicted), 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 other media
Mystery Dungeon
- Main article: Sleep-related conditions in Mystery Dungeon
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, there are several different varieties on the sleeping ailment. The standard, Asleep, functions similarly to how Sleep does in the main games. When a Pokémon is asleep, he or she cannot act for 3 to 6 turns. The sleeping Pokémon can use Snore and Sleep Talk, and is vulnerable to Dream Eater and Bad Dreams.
Rest in Mystery Dungeon is turned into a move that causes a variety of Asleep on the user, named Napping. Napping is similar to Asleep, but when the user wakes, all their negative status ailments will be gone.
Nightmare in Mystery Dungeon is turned into a move that causes a variety of Asleep, named after itself, although it can override a Pokémon that's already Asleep or Napping. When a Pokémon is inflicted with Nightmare, he or she cannot act for 4 to 7 turns, and takes 8 HP of damage when he or she awakens.
Other sleep aliments include Yawning, which causes Asleep after 3 turns, and Sleepless, which prevent the previous four ailments from occuring for 11 to 12 turns. Like in the main games, Sleeping can be cured early using a Chesto Berry.

Sleeping is a status ailment that has been present since the early days of the anime. When used in battle, it often forces the the afflicted Pokémon to be recalled. Uses of sleep in major episodes and movies include:
- Sleeping was first used in battle in Pokémon! I Choose You! by a trainer's Gengar in the Pokémon League. Gengar's Hypnosis put the opponent's Nidorino to sleep, forcing the Nidorino's trainer to switch.
- In Challenge of the Samurai, Ash's Butterfree used Sleep Powder to calm a swarm of Beedrill. He later tired to use Sleep Powder on Misty's Staryu in The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, but Staryu avoided its effects by diving underwater.
- In Hypno's Naptime, the abuse of Hypno's Hypnosis had been causing the Pokémon of HopHopHop Town to fall asleep without warning. It put the town's children, as well as Misty under a trance, in which they would run away to a pond and start acting like Pokémon.
- In The Ninja Poké-Showdown, Koga's Venomoth used Sleep Powder on Ash's Pidgeotto during their gym battle, forcing Ash to switch.
- A Jigglypuff that followed Ash and his friends almost always used Sing whenever it appeared. When it discovered that its "audience" slept through it song, the balloon Pokémon doodled on the sleeping Pokémon, and people, before leaving in a huff. However, its songs have still helped out Ash and the people he has met from time to time. In its debut episode, its song helped the cranky people of Neon Town finally fall asleep, after which, they woke up much more agreeable and friendly. In the following episode, Jigglypuff's song was able to put back to sleep the angry ancient Pokémon the slept there.
- In Friend and Foe Alike, Ritchie's Butterfree, Happy, used Sleep Powder on Ash's Squirtle during their league battle. Squirtle, already tired from a previous attack by Jessie, James, and Meowth, was declared unable to battle.
- In The Rise of Darkrai, Darkrai used its Dark Void in order to warn the people of Alamos Town about the coming attack of Dialga and Palkia. Unfortunately, the Bad Dreams that it caused led Baron Alberto to see Darkrai as a threat.
- In League Unleashed!, Nando's Kricketune used Sing to put Ash's Heracross to sleep. However, Heracross was able to counter it with Sleep Talk.
- In The Semi-Final Frontier!, Tobias's Darkrai used a combination of Dark Void, Bad Dreams, and Dream Eater against Ash's Heracross, quickly knocking it out. Darkrai also put Sceptile to sleep, but it managed to wake up just in time to take it out with Leaf Blade.
In the manga
The Electric Tale of Pikachu
In Play Misty for Me, Ash's Metapod evolves into Butterfree during his gym battle with Misty. Butterfree uses Sleep Powder to stop Misty's vicious Gyarados, which is the decicive move Ash needs to take back his stolen hat and win the Cascade Badge.
Phantom Thief Pokémon 7
The titular Phantom Thief, Hiori, uses his Tangrowth's Sleep Powder to sneak past the Galactic Grunts that guard Team Galactic's base.
In the Trading Card Game
In the Trading Card Game, Sleep, called Asleep, is one of the five special conditions along with Poisoned, Burned, Confused, and Paralyzed. If a Pokémon is Asleep, it cannot attack or retreat by itself. It must also be turned sideways (usually counterclockwise). After each turn, if a player's Pokémon is Asleep, the player must flip a coin: if heads, the Asleep Pokémon "wakes up" and is no longer affected by the Special Condition. However, if the coin lands on tails, the Pokémon is still asleep. Unlike the Pokémon games, a Pokémon can be afflicted with more than one special condition at once; however, some special conditions will erase ones already present.
