The polar opposite of Dies Wide Open. A character gently closes their eyes as they die. They may also slump a little. May result in Peaceful in Death. Named for the novel and movie, The Big Sleep. Subtrope of He's Dead, Jim. If someone is actually sleeping, only metaphorically like the dead, see Deep Sleep. Compare Passed in Their Sleep, where a character dies in their sleep, with their eyes closed, and Eye Lights Out, where the dying character's eyes slowly go dark. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

In the conclusion of La Bohème, Mimi dies in this manner, to the point where Rodolfo assumes that she is only sleeping. When he learns the truth, he starts crying about it, and the audience weeps with him. | |

Makoto in Kanon sleepily shuts her eyes just before she dies and disappears into air. Nagisa's death in CLANNAD After Story qualifies, as well as her daughter Ushio's a few episodes after that. Tomoya, however, just drops dead in the snow. Misuzu's death in the finale of Air. |

Almost averted at the end of Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood, when the mortally wounded Guybrush's eyes open wide in a blank stare at a saddened Elaine (almost in a Dies Wide Open position), but then gently close as he collapses and "falls asleep" with his mouth open. (Possibly foreshadowed in a way previously in Chapter 1, when Guybrush looks at the quarters door of either Elaine's ship or the Screaming Narwhal and says, "I'll sleep when I'm dead. Or later tonight.") | |

Played straight in episode 2 of the 2nd season of Angel. He finds the woman who betrayed him long ago. After she is forgiven, she proclaims that she will go outside after she has her rest. She never wakes up. Though the phrase she uses—"go out"—is ambiguous and could just as easily mean "die, cease to exist". | |

After Ray says that both he and Evangeline (The evening star that he's fallen in love with because he thinks it's a firefly) would like that a lot, he closes his eyes for the last time in the company of his new friends and the love of his life. | |

This trope is rare in Dragon Ball. In the pre-Z phase, Dies Wide Open was near-universal for death. Raditz's death added in Blank White Eyes to that. But this trope does occasionally apply: Goku during his first death in Dragon Ball Z. After holding his brother Raditz in place so they can both take the hit of Piccolo's attack, he tells Krillin, Bulma, and Roshi to gather the Dragon Balls to wish him back to life soon before slowly closing his eyes. (He even says, "Bye" right at the moment he closes his eyes in the Ocean dub.) The anime even gives the three a few minutes to mourn him before Kami-sama whisks his body and soul away to the after life. Yamcha and Tien also both die this way in the Saiyan saga. Vegeta as well when killed by Frieza. Krillin dies this way in Dragon Ball GT when killed by Super 17. |

In the Gensokyo 20XX series, this happens to Sakuya, as she dies of radiation sickness, while Yuuka tells her what she wants her to hear. It was noted that she looked as though she had simply fallen asleep, except she didn't wake up. It was also noted periodically, later in the series, that is how Reimu tends to see death, which, because of her innocence, seems to be the most comforting. |

Shirou vows to be what Kiritsugu couldn't, which brings Kiritsugu peace. He ends up falling asleep after he tells Shirou that he's proud of him, and it turns out he died right there. | |

In the end of Fate/stay night 2006 adaptation, as Saber lies dying back in her own time, she tells Bedivere that she has been dreaming. Bedivere tells her that if she closes her eyes, she'll be able to see that dream again. Then Saber slowly closes her eyes, uttering "This sleep is going to be a bit... longer..." Nasu just likes this trope. Tsukihime's best example is Kohaku, after stabbing herself in the chest. Arcueid actually goes into perpetual sleep in her True ending. At the end of Fate/Zero (and the beginning of the Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] adaptation), a Secretly Dying Kiritsugu and Shirou are sitting down with each other, with the former explaining to the latter about why it's impossible to become a hero that can save everyone, since he knows from personal experience in his youth. Shirou vows to be what Kiritsugu couldn't, which brings Kiritsugu peace. He ends up falling asleep after he tells Shirou that he's proud of him, and it turns out he died right there. |

Angelina of Gunslinger Girl is implied to have died at the end of the first anime. She closes her eyes while being told a story. In the anime, she wakes up in Teatrino (with a completely different character design at that), making her dramatic death scene in season 1 a bit hollow. In the manga, she's not so lucky and dies at a later point in the story. | |

Red Dead Redemption 2: At the end of Chapter 6, a high-honor Arthur Morgan gently shuts his eyes as he succumbs to tuberculosis while watching the sunrise. After all the pain and exhaustion he's been through, it's as if he's drifting off into a deep and eternal golden slumber. | |

Although we don’t see most victims in Ace Attorney close their eyes as they die except for Romein Letouse whose eyes close as he dies, the other victims eyes are already closed when they are first found dead with the exception of Jack Hammer in the first game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney whose eyes are open when the other people found him dead in the flashback of the Steel Samurai case. | |

In Tangled, Flynn/Eugene gently closes his eyes and breathes his last as he succumbs to his stab wound. Right after he and Rapunzel had confessed their love to each other. Fortunately, Rapunzel's tears had enough of the magic flower's healing powers to bring him back to life. | |

Goku during his first death in Dragon Ball Z. After holding his brother Raditz in place so they can both take the hit of Piccolo's attack, he tells Krillin, Bulma, and Roshi to gather the Dragon Balls to wish him back to life soon before slowly closing his eyes. (He even says, "Bye" right at the moment he closes his eyes in the Ocean dub.) The anime even gives the three a few minutes to mourn him before Kami-sama whisks his body and soul away to the after life. | |

Subverted in the film Titan A.E.: Gune, who combines The Professor and Plucky Comic Relief in one character, apparently slept the Big Sleep after being wounded, even saying "Must have nap..." as he went. Much later, he returns during the final battle in a Big Damn Heroes moment, loudly proclaiming "I've finished my nap!" as he pilots the Cool Starship to the rescue. | |
