  I&apos;m guessing the fact that we made it through a whole video on sleep mechanics without talking about dreams and all the various dream worlds in games might hint at a future video topic.

  Not a lot of people talk about this. They gotta stop sleeping on it

  Something I&apos;ve always found amusing was that in bully if you didn&apos;t make it to bed before you pass out, someone will have stolen your shoes by the time you wake up. They&apos;re not permanently gone you can put them back on from any closet you own, but having to walk back in just your socks is a little funny.

  Sleep can also change from a bit annoying to a new way to play. In Kirby and the Forgotten Lands, sleep is originally an annoyance, but when you upgrade the sleep copy ability you now get a power up. Really useful if you are half way through a challenging coliseum run.

  In Euro Truck Simulator and related games sleep is not as much a requirement in itself, but it&apos;s a necessity anyway. Not only do you get fined if you do not drive to a motel or parking spot for a rest after your allotted driving hours are over, you eventually also begin to yawn and take micro naps, where the entire screen goes dark and you may get into a traffic accident.

  One thing I am surprised this episode didn&apos;t cover is how often sleep as a stun-like debuff is often more volatile and unstable than other effects. Paralysis tends to last a decent while and only wear off with time or an active cure effect, but Sleep is very regularly disrupted as soon as somebody gets hit, with many games even separating the effect to only work for physical hits (letting magic / special damage come right through on the snoozer).

  A little fun fact i had with sleep. When Kirby and the forgotten land released i played with my brother almost daily. Then i make him believe that after unlocking Kirby&apos;s house the way to save the game was to sleep in Kirby&apos;s bed. So each night before going to sleep we had to take Kirby and bandana dee to sleep, my mom even found it cute haha. Even after i stoped playing, my brother kept searching for missing waddle dees and going to bed in Kirby&apos;s house.

  being put to sleep offensively is truly one of the worst things that can happen in games

  Speaking of Kirby, some games use the Sleep Copy Essences as actual obstacles.<br><br>Stage 6-1 in Kirby&apos;s Return to Dreamland has a segment with electrical cannons, blocks that disintegrate when you stand on them and, of course, the Sleep copy essences.<br>You don&apos;t want to touch the copy essences or else you&apos;ll fall asleep, leading to you getting hit by the cannons or falling off the bridge.
