Added DiffLines:

* When Navaeli and company reach Silamir's temple in the first book of ''Literature/HeraldsOfRhimn'', the goddess uses her influence to forcibly put Navaeli to sleep for a private conversation, since dreams are the only place where gods and mortals can properly meet face-to-face.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Sleep is one of the five [[StatusInflictionAttack volatile status conditions]] in the mainline games. However, most of the moves that [[PowerfulButInaccurate are guaranteed to cause it are inaccurate]], and the reverse also applies.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Sleep is one of the five [[StatusInflictionAttack volatile status conditions]] in the mainline games. It acts as a stun that lasts between two and five turns, during which the target is totally vulnerable to attacks. However, most of the moves that [[PowerfulButInaccurate are guaranteed to cause it are inaccurate]], and the reverse also applies.



* "Sleep" in ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' is a powerful Dreadlord spell when used correctly, as it keeps a single unit (including heroes) out of the fight for a long time along with interrupting channeling spells. It can be interrupted by attacking the sleeper, but fortunately units will only do so if ordered to.

Added DiffLines:

* Several examples in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoFury'' and its sequel ''[[Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury Cosmic Fury]]'':
** In several episodes, villains use "sleeping cuffs" on captives, often to set up a HostageForMacGuffin situation for the heroes or to use the person as a LivingBattery.
** In the episode "Crossed Wires", the villains plan to release a "sleep bomb" that will knock out the entire city so Void Knight can hunt for the {{MacGuffin}}s in peace. Aiyon, Javi, and Ollie all succumb to it, forcing [[BookDumb Izzy]] to apply [[TheSmartGuy Ollie]]'s lessons about electronics to save the day.
** The Rangers also have a "Snooze Dino Key" in their arsenal, which forces opponents to sleep. They mainly use it when they want to non-lethally subdue an opponent, like a BrainwashedAndCrazy team mate.
