Synopsis

If you want to talk about sleeping like a log, not sleeping a wink, or being in a coma, 睡 is the kanji for you! Learn to say, "I must have dozed off," "He stayed awake all night, wondering why the deal fell through," "The noise disturbed his sleep," "What with the heat and the humidity, I didn't sleep well," and “Lack of sleep began to catch up with me.” And see why 睡 is in 睡蓮 (water lily).
