'''Sleep''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. It is usually acquired from [[Noddy]]. When [[Kirby]] receives this ability, he stops and dons a night-cap, his eyelids grow heavy, and he falls asleep in the very spot he stands, then wakes up after a few seconds. Unlike other abilities, Sleep is almost universally a detriment to Kirby rather than a benefit, and its recurrence in the series can be seen as a joke (though some games give it some utility, with ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' in particular granting it a full fighting moveset). In most [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] games, Sleep Kirby also appears in the [[Game Over]] screen, either waking up, or continuing to sleep depending on whether the player chooses to continue, or quit.

In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' and consistently from ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' onward, the color of the hat was changed to purple with yellow spots, presumably to help distinguish it from the [[Sword]] hat.

Regardless, the green sleeping cap reappears in some later games after the switch to purple was made. In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', the green sleeping cap makes a reappearance in the "Waking to a flowery coup!" cutscene, when Kirby is sleeping in his house; the model was reused from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Green caps also appear in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' as a weapon for putting ''other'' fighters to sleep.

==Characteristics==

As Kirby is immobile during the sleep ability, there are no skills obtained when receiving it in most games.<ref>{{Cite|You can't do anything until Kirby wakes up. Good night...|Sleep Power summary|''Super Star Ultra''}}</ref> In ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' however, if Kirby gets the [[Ability Scroll]] for it, it will heal his damage a little bit during his slumber. In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', Kirby may prematurely wake up from sleep if the player shakes the Wii Remote or rapidly pushes the +Control Pad in different directions. This also works in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', though only by mashing the Circle Pad or +Control Pad. Doing so causes a bubble to grow on his face, which will wake him up when popped. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', shaking the controller or waggling the Control Stick will wake Kirby up like in past entries, but a [[Friend]] can also wake Kirby up by popping the bubble on his face.

There are also Sleep [[Copy Essence]]s that exist in ''Kirby Super Star'', ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. Some of these appear as a joke ability to restrict the typical choice of two copy abilities before a boss battle (such as in [[The True Arena]]). In other cases, they appear as an obstacle in areas with strong winds or currents, forcing Kirby to make difficult maneuvers to try to prevent touching the Copy Essences, as touching one will cause Kirby to fall asleep and return to the beginning of the area (or possibly fall to his doom). Unlike other Copy Essences, helpers/friends will not be changed by touching them (since there is no helper for Sleep), allowing them to easily bypass such segments.

Sleep made its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and is obtained by inhaling [[Noddy]] or a red missile when fighting [[Heavy Mole]]. When gaining this ability, Kirby falls asleep for a few seconds and cannot be moved by the player until he wakes up. This ability is largely a novelty and does not aid Kirby in any meaningful way, and may hinder him if it happens during the Heavy Mole fight.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===

[[File:KSS Old Tower screenshot 05.png|thumb|200px|The Sleep ability is often used as a hazard in the ''Kirby'' series, by placing Copy Essences for it in ways that force Kirby to try and dodge them or be put to sleep.]]

Sleep returns as an ability in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', here granting Kirby his spotted green cap for the first time. In addition to being obtainable from Noddy, Kirby can also get this ability by touching certain [[Copy Essence]]s. Some stages turn this into an obstacle by creating challenges where Kirby has to avoid touching the Sleep Copy Essences or be forced to take a nap as he is pushed back to the start by gentle wind.

Sleep appears in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' and can be obtained from Noddy, from a Copy Panel, or by using a [[Copy Chance Wheel]] or [[Mix]]. This appearance marks the first time the modern purple sleeping cap was seen. While sleeping, Kirby's [[Air Ride Machine]] will continue moving forward, but the player will be unable to input any directions, and any other racer that Kirby bumps into while snoozing will also be put to sleep. Mashing the Control Stick will cause Kirby to wake up faster.

There is a [[Checklist (Air Ride)|Checklist objective]] that requires the player to finish a race in first place in [[Air Ride]] while using the Sleep ability. This is most easily accomplished on [[Fantasy Meadows]] by using a Mix.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being an ability added to the game post-launch, Sleep does not have any alternate [[Costumes#Kirby Battle Royale|Headgear]], nor can it be used in [[Dedede's Cake Royale]].

*The fact that Kirby blows nose bubbles in his sleep seems to prove that he actually does have a nose (even if it cannot be seen).

*Interestingly enough, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', one of [[smashwiki:Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff]]'s alternate colors has it wearing Kirby's original green Sleep cap. This is likely a reference to its Sing and Rest moves, which both involve sleeping.

*Kirby sleeping on the Game Over screen predates the actual ability, most likely being the inspiration for it.
