As described on everything2.com (http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=sleep):
A periodic suspension of consciousness. Usually refreshes, envigorates, and makes people less grumpy. An inconvenience that most hackers / coders would rather do without. Avoidance mechanisms normally involve large doses of stimulating substances such as caffeine.
