Feigning Sleep Technique

This technique forces the user to fall asleep. However, since the user is left vulnerable, the enemy can wake the user up using a direct blow. Gaara has only used this technique when trying to unleash Shukaku from within him.

Trivia

 * This technique also translates to something akin to "Tanuki Sleep Technique", which is significant as Shukaku is a tanuki.
 * In Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Naruto uses a similar technique while in a pyjama costume, he falls asleep while his health bar is recovering.
