The Big Sleep

The Big Sleep is the nineteenth episode of the third season of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and the sixty-ninth episode overall.
==Summary==
While trying to discover more clues to the family secret, Sabrina accidentally wakes up her Aunt Dorma, the "black sheep" of the family, during her ten-year long nap. Unfortunately, this enrages her, and for revenge, she fills the Spellman house with poppies, which cause Hilda and Zelda fall asleep instantaneously. Since Sabrina is half-mortal, she remains awake but gets drowsy as she tries to handle the incident, gradually getting sleepy until she is as out cold as her aunts. To complicate things, Valerie, Harvey, and Libby come to Sabrina's house to study for a brain buster competition at school. It is up to Sabrina to juggle between studying and helping her aunts who begin acting out their dreams.
Meanwhile, Salem goes to war with their neighbor Mr. Tobias, after he continually runs over their trash cans and mailbox.
