Sleep (スリプル, Suripuru) is a recurring status effect in the Final Fantasy series. It is also the name of a spell available usually through Black Magic that will induce this effect; although later games have re-classified the spell as Green or Arcane Magic. A character who is hit by a Sleep-inducing attack will be rendered unable to act for the duration of the sleep effect. These attacks have in the past take the form of pollen, dust, a spell, or a Bard's lullaby.
Sleep generally does not last a great period of time and will wear off if a character is either cured of Sleep (for example, by use of Esuna or a Remedy) or physically damaged, meaning that magic attacks can still be used without risk of waking up the target. Inflicting other status ailments and any associated damage that occurs as a results of the ailment (for example, Poison) generally don't wake the targets either. An example of this is Diabolos' attack in Final Fantasy XI, which both Bios and puts its victims to Sleep. Damage then caused by the Poison status ailment will not wake the target.

Very little abilities in the game inflict the Sleep status to either the enemies or the party. The only enemy abilities that inflict Sleep is Sleeping Gas, while the only ways for the party to inflict Sleep is either through attacking with the Dream Harp or Sleep Sword, using the Bardsong Lullaby, or using the Black Magic Sleep.

Sleep lasts for around 13.3 seconds, and will automatically end if a target is struck physically, whether it hits or not. The target's Evasion is not reduced while under Sleep. Many early bosses are vulnerable to this status, so if I player uses a GF's ST-Atk-J ability with the Sleep status, and plans accordingly, many early bosses can be defeated without taking any damage.
