If you were looking for the flash game, see Deep Sleep Trilogy. Sleep. Deep, profound, unwakeable sleep. Not imposed on the sleeper but springing from his own need for rest and recovery. Sleep this heavy is often a consequence of Post-Victory Collapse, though exhaustion, illness, and recuperation can also produce it. (The Heavy Sleeper does this routinely). Usually the deep sleeper does not dream; indeed, the victim of Recurring Dreams may attempt to exhaust himself in order to invoke this trope. Any Instant Waking Skills are usually nullified; it takes a lot to wake someone from this kind of sleep. This gives other characters freedom to act around him without worrying about his reaction, whether to move him, or to play pranks, or whatever. They might even plan or conduct the next plot event without him, because his need for sleep is greater than his need to be involved. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Heroic BSoD is likely to cause this as well; compare Angst Coma. Although "sleeping like the dead" is a common metaphor, a character so profoundly unconscious as to appear dead falls under Faux Death. If the length is done hyperbolicly, see Asleep for Days; Deep Sleep does not actually need to be prolonged, but can be. Not to be confused with Big Sleep, where the sleeper is actually dead. Truth in Television. Merges insensibly with unconsciousness, since the hallmark of true unconsciousness is inability to be woken. |

In The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Caligari claims that Cesare has been asleep for the past twenty years. He wakes up several times over the course of the film, so it's quite possible that Caligari is lying. And the whole film has an Unreliable Narrator in Francis, anyway. | |

William of Moriarty the Patriot is a known Heavy Sleeper who falls asleep when intellectually taxed and can't be woken by anything. Albert says his genius brain requires more energy than most people's, but Sherlock does not seem similarly afflicted (maybe it's Sherlock's cocaine addiction?). | |

In Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, the titular duo are forcibly separated by the technomites, with Clank being banished to a robot scrapyard. He soon find out from Skrunch that a comatose Ratchet is at the Medical Outpost Omega, where his DNA is being taken. Clank is able to reach his friend and talk him into waking him up by blaming himself for allowing Luna to lure them into a trap while suspecting "her". | |

Early in Through Alien Eyes the alien healer Unkatonen is heavily afflicted with greensickness from being on board a spaceship for too long, far from the variety of life he has a psychological need for. It has a drastic effect on his psyche, so he causes himself to go into a near-unwakeable sleep until he can leave the ship. | |

Just after the protagonist of Melody gets his new king-sized bed, he spends a night with Isabella (if he's of her romantic path). Isabella, who has to go to work early, leaves while he's still asleep; he's tired from both the poor sleep on his previous bed and rolling around in the sheets the night before. | |

Sam in The Lord of the Rings. Not only does he sleep like a log in Tom Bombadil's, in Lothlórien, when the other hobbits are talking about sleeping in the tree platforms, he announces that once he gets to sleep, he won't wake up even if he falls out. (And the less that is said, the sooner he will nod off.) Éowyn is in this while Aragorn is healing her, unlike Merry. |

Elizabeth Kerner's Tales of Kolmar universe has the Kantri go into what's called a "Weh sleep" when they're seriously injured and need to heal, or when they're due to grow, as they grow in stages throughout their lengthy lives. In the latter case they have between a day's and an hour's warning, and then they start to tear away their own armored scales before falling asleep. Then their other scales fall off and soft new ones are exposed. Over a course of months or years they grow and harden while asleep. If they're almost finished, they can be woken by a good friend shouting their truename, but if not... In The Lesser Kindred, when the Kantri have to evacuate their island, Nikis is at a stage where it's impossible to wake her, and she has to be bodily carried away at great effort. | |

Doraemon's Final Episode, the infamous Doraemon webcomic that's rumored to be "the missing final episode" of the series (later proven to be a hoax, but a damn good one). In it, Doraemon falls into over three decades of sleep after his batteries run dry - replacing his batteries will result in complete erasure of Doraemon's memory, necessitating Nobita to work hard and push himself to succeed in the future, where three decades later he's a successful robotics expert capable of reviving his friend. | |
