Sleeping gas traps are plentiful in [[Gehennom]], so sleep resistance is a high priority. However, elves are quite common in the [[Dungeons of Doom|upper dungeon]], and can be safely eaten by anyone but an elf player, who gains intrinsic sleep resistance anyway, so getting sleep resistance is not difficult.

Intrinsic sleep resistance can be obtained from eating the following corpses. Of these, only the [[gelatinous cube]] is safe for vegetarians or vegans. Some of the corpses may be hazardous to eat; any possible danger is noted in the '''Notes''' column.

Sleep resistance is a property that appears in NetHack. It prevents you from being put to sleep by wands of sleep, potions of sleeping, sleeping gas traps, orange dragons' breath attacks, wearing an amulet of restful sleep, or reading a dull spellbook.

Sources

The property can be obtained intrinsically through the following methods:

  • Playing a Monk
  • Playing an elf of any role and reaching level 4
  • Being polymorphed into a naturally sleep-resistant monster
  • Being crowned
  • Eating a corpse or tin of any of the following monsters:
Monster Conduct Difficulty Chance Notes
homunculus meaty 3 7% poisonous
gelatinous cube vegan 6 10% acidic
flesh golem meaty 10 12%
Chromatic Dragon meaty 23 17% poisonous, Caveman quest nemesis
Woodland-elf meaty 6 27% cannibalism for elves
Green-elf meaty 7 33% cannibalism for elves
Grey-elf meaty 8 40% cannibalism for elves
elf-lord meaty 11 53% cannibalism for elves
Elvenking meaty 11 60% cannibalism for elves
elf meaty 4 67% cannibalism for elves, danger of food poisoning if eating undead elf corpses
orange dragon meaty 20 100%

Strategy

Obtaining sleep resistance is generally not difficult, as elves are quite common in the Dungeons of Doom and can be safely eaten by anyone except player elves (who already gain the intrinsic by level-up).
