Sleeping Yourself Beats Putting Others to Sleep

Poliwhirl, Drowzee, Shiinotic and Jigglypuff put other creatures to sleep, and none of them reaches the top four. Those places belong to the Pokemon that do the sleeping themselves, from Abra's 18 hours and Slakoth's 20 hours to Komala, which stays asleep from birth to death.
