The answer
SLEEP
What sleep means
A natural state of rest in which the body and mind become inactive, consciousness is suspended, and the eyes are closed, typically lasting several hours each night.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *slæp*, related to Old Norse *svefn* and Old High German *slf*, all descended from Proto-Germanic *slāpaz*. The ultimate origin before Proto-Germanic is uncertain, though some scholars connect it to an Indo-European root meaning "to slip" or "to fall," reflecting the gradual onset of sleep.
