Odin, the father of Thor, goes into an Odinsleep to maintain his strength. This has been depicted in several Marvel stories, where Odin saves the day at the last minute. Thor has also been shown to go into an Odinsleep, although it is unclear whether this is to replenish his energy or to communicate with Odin.

What You'll Learn
Thor goes into an Odin sleep in the JMS Thor run
In the JMS Thor run, Thor goes into an Odin sleep. Odin sleeps to maintain his strength, and it seems that everyone who wields the Odinpower must do the sleep. Thor goes into an Odin sleep in the JMS run to talk to Odin, rather than needing to replenish his energies.
JMS' Thor run is Thor (2007) 1-12, 600-603 (same volume, renumbered) and Thor Giant Size. It's collected in three volumes. The run is considered by some to be disappointing, as it starts off well but ends abruptly and incompletely. However, others praise JMS for refusing to portray Thor in a manner that was beneath him, even if that meant never writing Thor again.
