== Anime & Manga ==
Line 29:
 
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* In 'Blessing in Disguise' Peter awakes in a hospital bed after five days of being in a coma, and proceed to [[Freak -Out]] when he found that he was {{spoiler|now a girl}}.
* In [[Rescuing Dara]], the titular Dara sleeps for 3 days straight after her kidnapper drugs her with Sleep Seeds.
 
 
== Film -- Animated ==
* In the ''[[Lupin III]]'' movie ''[[The CastleofCastle of Cagliostro (Anime)|The Castleof Cagliostro]]'', Lupin sleeps for three days after being severely wounded in a fight with the [[Big Bad]]. He's distressed to find that this is the case, because it means he might be too late to save the day, and demands [[Health Food|large amounts of food]] so he can get his strength back quickly.
* In the movie version of ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (Film)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' Hiccup wakes up several days after the final battle with Toothless watching over him.
** ...And then is so excited that Hiccup is finally awake that he bounds around the room, one of his leaps being on Hiccup's stomach. This is funny when a twelve-pound cat does it. Toothless, I'm willing to bet, weighs a heck of a lot more than twelve pounds.
Line 47:
 
== Literature ==
* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel ''The Adventuress of Henrietta Street'', the Doctor's [[Heart Trauma|heart]] [[...And Show It to You|is torn]] [[Organ Theft|out]]. ([[Normally I Would Be Dead Now|It's okay]], he has [[Bizarre Alien Biology|another one]].) He consequently sleeps for a week, and wakes up still visibly wounded but mostly healed, with his friends by his bedside and "an enormous smile on his face". [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Awww.]]
* Happens to Frodo twice in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'': once in Rivendell, and once after being rescued from Mount Doom.
* During his encounter with Quirrell at the end of ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone|Harry Potter]]'', Harry falls unconscious and wakes up in the hospital wing three days later.
Line 84:
 
== Real Life ==
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Kleine-Levin_syndromeLevin syndrome|Kleine-Levin Syndrome]], although in this case the cause isn't stress or injury.
* Some centenarians, particularly those who make it to 110 and over, tend to sleep for a few days at a time as they get on towards the end.
