Line 20:
* ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'': after being either healed or returned from the dead (it's a bit vague), Ashitaka is passed out for at least several days.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' is quite a subversion, [[Irony|even though it is the]] [[Trope Namer]]: Shinji is peeved because the NERV sickbay's ceiling is becoming too familiar to him.
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'': Spike, a few times -- mosttimes—most notably at the end of the fifth episode, where he had a near death experience complete with seeing his life flash before his eyes, and although he doesn't ask he is promptly informed by Faye that he's been asleep for three days. Sort of bonus points: the last thing he sees in his dreams/coma visions is his lover Julia singing a song as she cares for him, he then wakes up to Faye singing that same song. (Although according to Spike, Faye is singing it off key).
* In Episode 9 of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]'', Teana wakes up in the infirmary after being shot down by Nanoha, and is shocked to find that it's already 9 at night; according to Shamal, her taking this long to wake up was a result of not getting much sleep.
* Happens twice in ''[[Claymore]]'', the first being when Raki travels through the desert trying to look for Clare only to pass out from exhaustion and lack of water, so Clare brings him to an inn at a nearby town. The second happens to Clare, when {{spoiler|she narrowly escapes being killed by Ophelia after Ilena saves her - but after she had an arm and a hand cut off - and she passes out from over-expending her energy to reattach her hand. Clare wakes up in Ilena's house in her secluded valley.}}
Line 37:
* In each ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to The Future]]'' film, Marty wakes up with his mother (or great grandmother) ministering to him.
* ''[[Barbarella]]'': Our heroine wakes up after getting knocked out and thinks she's dead. Not surprisingly, since the first person she sees is Pygar the angel (or ornithanthrope).
* Slightly subverted in ''[[Vampire Hunter D]]'', with Leila waking up in the road after D bound her wound. Weirdly averted in the ''first'' [[Vampire Hunter D]] movie -- Dorismovie—Doris wakes up in her house after being rescued -- sherescued—she was unconscious or in a trance for the entire rescue, so she should have no idea how she got there--butthere—but the first thing she does is asks if D is okay.
 
 
Line 48:
* ''[[A Wizard of Earth Sea]]'': Turns up suprisingly little, given Ged spends an absurd amount of time being generally passed out. This specific trope only occurs once, at Osskil.
* Many, many times in ''[[The Inheritance Cycle]]''.
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' does this several times -- oncetimes—once in the first book, a few times in the third.
* Happened in ''[[Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone]]'', with Harry waking up in the hospital ward after defeating Quirrell. He asks Dumbledore what happened to him. In fact this happens to various characters rather frequently.
* ''[[Redwall]]'': This happen to a main character at least once per book.
