Sleep is a Status Effect in Monster Hunter World (MHW). Sleep renders the hunter or monster immobile for several seconds.
Sleep Effect
On Monsters
- Triggering the effect requires buildup inflicted by:
- Weapons that wield Sleep damage
- Bowgun Sleep Ammo
- Bow Sleep Coating
- Sleep Knives
- Environmental Hazards such as Sleeptoad
- Buildup damage is modified by a Monsters resistance to Sleep.
- When Sleep is triggered, the Monster will topple over and remain asleep for about 40 seconds. Once the Monster is fully asleep, damage from any single source will be doubled and wake the Monster up, ending the effect.
- Each successive trigger of Sleep requires more buildup than the last, but the effect duration remains the same.
On the Player and Allies
- Causes the Hunter to stumble for a few seconds - only allowing for movement input - before falling asleep and being completely incapacitated for several seconds. Damage taken is increased. Hits that cause knockback while triggering Sleep will result in the Hunter succumbing to the effect immediately.
- The effect can be recognized by this symbol:
on the HUD - Can be cured with Energy Drink, being hit by an ally or a Monster, or when the effect expires.

Strange that Safi'jiiva is now only resistant to Sleep, instead of immune. Perhaps it gained the luxury of sleep after it gained enough bioenergy to mature.

I've only managed to make a monster fall asleep once with the Jagras Raider. The Sleep effect is probably more useful for ranged weapons. Though it was funny making a monster fall asleep during mid combo.

You can also cure sleep by using an Energy Drink right before the status takes effect.

Does anyone have information on sleep synergies? It looks like we can use a sleep weapon and a the "sleep attack" effect at level 3. Is that all there is to it or are there more ways to stack our "sleep damage" or items that can induce sleep?
