* In ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'', the future policemen are ''encouraged'' to go to sleep in works' time. The kicker is that Judges who have done a thirty-hour shift in very busy time get maybe ninety minutes in a machine that stimulates and accelerates deep sleep - condensing nine or ten hours into that ninety minutes. Then they are expected to go out on the street and do it all over again for another thirty hours...
* Marvel Comics character Jackson Arvad became the superpowered Will-o-the-wisp as a result of this. Because he fell asleep after working all night, he was unable to prevent a lab accident that ultimately gave him his powers.
* In the ''Comicbook/RobinSeries'', Tim normally does not fall asleep while working as Robin, though Catwoman once caught him taking a “bat-nap” on a roof when he was recovering from the [[SyntheticPlague Clench]]. Sometimes his habit of falling asleep anywhere and everywhere in his civilian persona does not work out in his favor, like the time he fell asleep on a ''roller coaster'' during a date with Zoanne.
