Someone is settling down for a nice nap. When he wakes up, it may take a while to realize it's several years or several decades later. He sees the effects of his absence. Anything he did wrong can no longer be fixed. Those who loved him, if still alive, are miserable, and everything has changed. The Future Is Shocking and Fish out of Temporal Water tropes may ensue. A combination of Yet Another Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Plot sans Christmas elements, often with some 20 Minutes into the Future mixed in. This is Older Than Feudalism. The story it's named after is an old American folktale, which itself is derived from an earlier Dutch folktale, having variants stretching back to the third century CE. Compare the King in the Mountain and Human Popsicle. Compare Cold Sleep, Cold Future and Asleep for Days. See also Year Outside, Hour Inside, where the victim doesn't sleep away the years but spends them in an enchanted place. When the character is conscious during this it's The Slow Path. An extreme version of this trope is Slept Through the Apocalypse, where the world has ended while the protagonist slept. If you want to add humor when that person wakes up, use Rip Van Tinkle. When someone is deceived into believing this trope it's Faked Rip Van Winkle. Also compare the Heavy Sleeper. |

In a Chinese legend, a lumberjack in a forest stumbles upon a group of Immortals playing checkers. Fascinated by the play, he stops to watch it, and when the Immortals finish, the lumberjack realizes the handle of his ax has decayed of age. This legend is referenced in Medieval Japanese The Pillow Book. | |

Star Trek: Enterprise, episode "Twilight." Captain Archer wakes up many years in the future, after the destruction of Earth, to learn that he contracted an alien disease causing a form of anterograde amnesia: every six months, he wakes up with no memories since he contracted the disease. It all ends with a Reset Button as they use Techno Babble to retroactively cure the disease, returning us to the plot arc. It's really just an excuse to run an Alternate Universe plot about the Enterprise's mission failing. | |

WandaVision has Monica Rambeau waking up from a nap in a hospital room, and discovering five years have passed. During that period, she was outright non-existant, being among half the population of the universe that was wiped out by Thanos (something that happened as she dozed off), and thus revived when the Avengers reversed that decimation - the reason why she was in the hospital, her mother Maria, even died three years prior. | |

Buck Rogers: Buck Rogers was a mining engineer who mustered out of the air service at the end of The Great War. He was surveying the lower levels of an abandoned mine near Pittsburgh when the roof collapsed and a strange gas seeping out of the rocks put him into suspended animation. He awakens and emerges from the mine in 2429 AD, in the midst of another war. | |

Forest Kingdom: This happened to the supporting character Wulf Saxon in the Hawk & Fisher spinoff series' book 6 (The Bones Of Haven), who got trapped inside a booby-trapped magical portrait for 23 years while attempting to rob a sorcerer. No time passes for him, but by the time he's set free, his family are all dead or penniless, his friends have become callous and hostile, and the city he'd once hoped to reform has become a Wretched Hive far worse than he remembers. | |

Invoked by some train robbers in The Twilight Zone (1959) episode "The Rip Van Winkle Caper". The robbers' intent was to remain in gas-induced suspended animation until their theft of gold bullion had been forgotten. Unfortunately, this also left enough time for humanity to discover a means of manufacturing gold, meaning that their stolen fortune is effectively worthless (although in the end they all expire before learning of this fact). | |

Inverted in an episode of The Angry Beavers. The two beavers spend the entire episode trying to stay up all night, only to realize their clock is broken. When they go outside, decades have passed and they can see a futuristic city on the horizon. Played straight in the Sequel Episode "Up All Night 2: Up All Day - The Reckoning", where the beavers struggle to get to sleep after "stupidly staying up for a bazillion years". When they finally manage it, they end up sleeping for the same amount of time as they spent awake last time, only this time, not only have they become old and grey, but sheep have become the dominant species as well. |

Justified in Captain America: The First Avenger, where Steve Rogers gets frozen in the arctic in the 1940s and is woken up again in modern times. Needless to say, he's a bit surprised when he puts it together (because Steve had been at the baseball game S.H.I.E.L.D. put on the radio to put him at ease). | |

A medieval legend told in various versions tells of a monk who comes to doubt God because he cannot wrap his mind around the Biblical verse "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." (2nd Peter 3:8) (or alternatively "For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past", Psalms 90:4). Deep in thought, he wanders into a forest and forgets of the time (depending on the version, he may fall asleep while sitting down for a rest, or be entranced by a beautiful songbird). At evening, he hurries back to the monastery, only to discover that during his stay in the forest, three hundred years have passed. He realizes that God has done this to demonstrate His power, and dies soon after. The best-known modern adaptation of this legend is the ballad "The Monk of Heisterbach" by Wolfgang Müller von Königswinter. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Long before the game's events, a previous princess named Zelda (separate from the one encountered in the preceding game) had a cruel brother who mistreated the citizens of Hyrule with the help of an evil wizard. When Zelda refused to tell her brother what she knew about the location of the Triforce, the wizard tried to kill her with a spell that instead killed him and put Zelda in a deep slumber. The remorseful brother placed his sister in a castle tower in the hope that she would one day be woken up. The plot of the game involves Link finding the Triforce of Courage to do so. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has Link wake up after a century-long slumber. He was put in such a state because he was in front of death's doors when Calamity Ganon ravaged Hyrule and the corrupted Guardians attempted to kill him. He wakes up fully recovered, but without his memories. |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Future Imperfect", Riker falls unconscious after exploring a cave that was flooded with toxic gas and waking up to discover that at that moment he had contracted a strange alien disease that apparently wiped all his memories between the time he fell unconscious and the 16 years since. However, at the end it turned out to be an elaborate holographic illusion created by a lonely alien who had captured Riker and was impersonating his fictional future son. Star Trek: Voyager: In "Living Witness", a backup copy of the Doctor stored in a piece of the ship that had ended up in an alien museum was reactivated and discovered that 700 years had passed since Voyager left the planet. From his point of view, he was on Voyager just yesterday. In "Timeless", the Doctor is reactivated 15 years in the series' future and discovers that he, Harry and Chakotay are the only three members of the crew still alive. Star Trek: Enterprise, episode "Twilight." Captain Archer wakes up many years in the future, after the destruction of Earth, to learn that he contracted an alien disease causing a form of anterograde amnesia: every six months, he wakes up with no memories since he contracted the disease. It all ends with a Reset Button as they use Techno Babble to retroactively cure the disease, returning us to the plot arc. It's really just an excuse to run an Alternate Universe plot about the Enterprise's mission failing. |

The Gargoyles episode "Future Tense" did this to Goliath. Fortunately, it was All Just a Dream. Also, the protagonists spent centuries as stone statues in the backstory before Xanatos breaks their curse. |

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: Long before the game's events, a previous princess named Zelda (separate from the one encountered in the preceding game) had a cruel brother who mistreated the citizens of Hyrule with the help of an evil wizard. When Zelda refused to tell her brother what she knew about the location of the Triforce, the wizard tried to kill her with a spell that instead killed him and put Zelda in a deep slumber. The remorseful brother placed his sister in a castle tower in the hope that she would one day be woken up. The plot of the game involves Link finding the Triforce of Courage to do so. | |

Bug Fables: Leif the moth is rescued from a spider's web in Snakemouth Den by Vi and Kabbu. After the trio deliver Snakemouth's artifact to Queen Elizant II of the Ant Kingdom, Leif reveals that he had gotten trapped in the web back when the queen was Elizant I decades earlier. He's a bit shocked at both the technological developments that have happened and at the tenser political environment of modern Bugaria (namely, the Ant Kingdom no longer being on friendly terms with the Wasp or Termite Kingdoms). Worse for him personally, he seems to have outlived his wife Muse. It turns out the "Leif" introduced in the present is not the original Leif, who died in that web all those years ago, but a cordyceps fungus modified by Roach scientists that escaped their hidden lab and took on the memories and personality of the original Leif by entering the latter's body. | |

"Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who is an interpretation of the original story, which used the twenty-year nap to illustrate that the Revolutionary War (which happened while he slept) really didn't change anything at all, and he was basically living in the same world. It's a bit hidden in the song, but certain lyrics like "And the marching on the left/ Is now the marching on the right/ And the beards have all grown longer overnight" make it a definite reference. | |

Happens to Shinji Ikari in the third Rebuild of Evangelion movie, who has the misfortune of spending fourteen years — more or less as long as he'd even been alive before — as a Human Popsicle, with the double whammy of finding out that he accidentally annihilated the Biosphere in a futile attempt to save his love interest. The Earth is a post-apocalyptic Wasteland, and many people are 14 years older and hate his guts for the aforementioned catastrophe, including his former Parental Substitute who gives him the no-son-of-mine treatment and puts an Explosive Leash on him. Also, his former friend/comrade/flatmate tells him in no uncertain terms that she despises him, shattering a wall of security glass to do so. | |

In the interim his best friend died and his wife remarried. On the bright side, Lijlah is still friendly with him, his creation Zeke is an advocate for AI rights, and he has eight decades worth of games to catch up on. | |

A common theme in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction is taking advantage of the fact that this effectively happened to Luna as a result of her being Sealed Evil in a Can for a thousand years. One that doesn't use Luna is The Bridge, where it is Princess Cadance that is an unknowing example given it is heavily implied Princess Amore of the Crystal Empire a millennia ago was her mother. King Caesar spirited her away as a baby to escape from King Sombra after Sombra killed Amore. We next see them 1,000 years later with Caesar giving her away to a kindly young couple. | |

Sassette in Empath: The Luckiest Smurf was actually a real female Smurf who was trapped in a Crystal Prison for a century since she was a little Smurfling and awakened by Nat, Snappy, and Slouchy with no knowledge of how she became trapped in there in the first place. In "Little Sister Smurf Lost", though, she does find out that an evil wraith named Avengelica put her into the crystal, since Sassette expressed a desire to get even with the male Smurfs who at that time were mistreating her, and thus her hatred for them resurfaces as she exacts her revenge against them, particularly against her older brother Hefty. | |

At the end of Part I of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Byleth falls into a deep chasm during the Empire's attack on Garreg Mach and while their allies do try to look for them, they Never Found the Body until Byleth washes up not far downstream from Garreg Mach five years later, where they learn that the war has been fought to a standstill in their absence. The fact that they were sleeping so long while recovering from their injuries greatly surprises most of their allies, except for Seteth and Flayn. Children of the Goddess are also shown to be able to put themselves in a stasis for years at a time to recover from severe injuries, during which time they do not age. This is why Flayn, aka Saint Cethleann, still seems to be almost a child despite having fought and been severely injured in the War of Heroes over a thousand years ago. That Byleth is able to do this as well plays up their Ambiguously Human nature by implying that they're dragon enough to access this power, something Seteth certainly seems to believe when they reunite at the beginning of Silver Snow. | |

Since she's a Heavy Sleeper, she overslept by thirty years, and woke up to discover that her Vitriolic Best Bud Ayaka had died the year she was supposed to wake up (having kept herself alive through sheer willpower in hopes of seeing her one last time).

His super-soldier serum kept him from freezing to death for decades before being found and rescued in the Modern Era (originally 1964) by The Avengers. Captain America ends up referencing this trope when he confirms that Peter Parker is back in his body after the whole Superior Spider Man mess. The Human Torch tells Peter this, referencing the time he was dead. One interesting aspect of this is that Cap's service in World War II is one of the few comic stories not subjected to Comic-Book Time, as all they have to do is extend the time he was frozen. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Future Imperfect", Riker falls unconscious after exploring a cave that was flooded with toxic gas and waking up to discover that at that moment he had contracted a strange alien disease that apparently wiped all his memories between the time he fell unconscious and the 16 years since. However, at the end it turned out to be an elaborate holographic illusion created by a lonely alien who had captured Riker and was impersonating his fictional future son. | |
