Sleep

Sleep is a state of rest when the eyes are closed (for most species) and consciousness is altered. Dreaming takes place once a lifeform reaches REM sleep.

Unable to reach REM sleep within Tyken's Rift, the crew of the USS Brattain went insane and seemingly murdered each other. 

When he was briefly stripped of his powers and made a normal, mortal human, Q found sleep to be one of the most disturbing processes of the human condition. 

Because he was an android, Data did not require sleep, a fact that disturbed Captain Picard when he was trying to fall asleep on a Klingon vessel headed for the Romulan Star Empire on a secret mission in 2368. 

In 2371, Bajoran First Minister Kalem Apren died in his sleep due to heart failure. 

In 2376, an exhausted and sleep-deprived Tuvok fell asleep on the bridge of the Voyager, revealing that Vulcans, like Humans, snore. 

Species 8472 do not sleep. 

Tosk only require 17 minutes of sleep per rotation.
