That would be neat, a syndrome that induces sleep for an indeterminate amount of time (via gas, forgotten beast syndrome, fog, weather, etc)

Afflicted will immediately sleep, whether outside, inside, being attacked, etc.

Afflicted will sleep for maybe a month, and wake up starving and thirsty. Maybe they'll sleep more if exposed to multiple doses, and possibly risk starving to death in their sleep.

Maybe dwarves could drag them to the hospital to sleep it off?

Already implemented. CE_DROWSINESS.

Already implemented. CE_DROWSINESS.

I think CE_UNCONSCIOUSNESS (also already implemented) is what's wanted here.

Aside from gasses, or whatever, couldn't a dorf suffer a bad concussion? Maybe one bad enough to put him to sleep for a long time?

Than, now, would be a nice addition. Right now there's no non-lethal brain damage, and thus a blow to the head is either instant death or almost harmless. I think neuroplasticity is in the long-term plans. I remember a goal about a serious blow to the head altering someone's behaviour. Less exotic cases like regular run-of-the mill concussions, internal bleeding and the resulting blood clots should probably come sooner, though. There are all kinds of wonderful things that can go wrong with the brain, and at the moment, we don't really have any of them.

Dwarves might sometimes enter coma-like state. I think that it happens when a dwarf is injured and doesn't get diagnosed and they just lie in a bed. They get fed and watered, but never wake up.
