Sleep (Copy Ability)

Sleep is a Copy Ability that Kirby can use in Kirby's Adventure, and has appeared in many more games in the series since. Upon attaining it, Kirby will fall asleep, rendering him immobile and vulnerable to damage for a short time before waking up, discarding the ability and turning back to normal. It's continued appearances in the series can be seen as a joke, although it is given utility in some games.
==Description==
Sleep Kirby dons a night cap. In modern games, it is purple with yellow polka dots, while in previous games it could be green with white polka dots or green with yellow polka dots. When Kirby falls asleep, he cannot move around until he wakes back up, or is hit by an enemy that forces him awake. It is almost universally a hinderance to Kirby, and as such Copy Essences that provide Sleep are often placed as obstacles in areas with wind, forcing Kirby to make tight maneuvers to avoid them, or joking provided to limit the amount of abilities Kirby can choose (most notably in the rest room for The True Arena).
In Kirby's Return to Dream Land onward, repeatedly mashing buttons will cause the bubble Kirby blows while sleeping to grow bigger, eventually popping and waking him up sooner. In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby doesn't fall asleep immediately, and can be controlled for a bit, although he's drowsy and will eventually stop. It can be upgraded at Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop into Deep Sleep, which grants Kirby a large moon-shaped night cap. This version allows Kirby to sleep in a bed. It still makes him immobile and vulnerable, but he will not only replenish health as he sleeps, but will also be granted power, defense, and speed boosts when he wakes up. Sleep was also added to Kirby Battle Royale after winning the second Copy Ability poll, despite many seeing it as a joke inclusion. This game gives it an actual fighting moveset.
