When asleep, people are inherently at their most vulnerable. Life passes on outside, but to the sleeping person, there's very little chance of even being aware of anything happening beyond what may be occurring in their dreams. Unfortunately, villains like to take advantage of this state, and choose to torment an innocent character while said character is snoring away. This villain may choose to [[SlainInTheirSleep murder them outright]], or if they're supernatural, they can take it to their dreams [[NightmareWeaver and grant them awful nightmares]]. But what if murder is too messy, and giving nightmares too impractical?

* ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'': In "[[Recap/BoBoiBoyS1E4Kidnapped Kidnapped!]]", the plan to infiltrate Adu Du's ship to free Yaya and Ying is for Gopal to be captured so that he could unlock the door from the inside for [=BoBoiBoy=] to get in. However, Gopal was only supposed to ''pretend'' to be asleep (which he forgets) and thus gets lifted via TractorBeam, only waking up on board the ship.
