Sleep (Su): 20-foot radius or by touch, Will save (DC 13) or sleep for 30 minutes. Each 1 minute thereafter, the victim must succeed at a Will save (DC 13) to wake up. Slapping or wounding a sleeping creature will wake it, though normal noise will not. Unconscious creatures, constructs, and undead are immune to the effects of this ability.

A sandman attacks using its fists if pressed, but almost always relies on its sleep ability to affect those within range. Once a creature goes to sleep, the sandman will not attack it.

The Sandman first appeared in the Fiend Folio (1981).
