I have always wondered how or if Vader sleeps with his helmet on. Does he have a special type of pillow mold frame to fit his helmet or does he remove the helmet and sleeps in his hyperbaric chamber.

Ha! That's funny! Ya gotta wonder about that, don't you?

If I were him, I'd sleep in the meditation chamber.

Maybe the suit makes it so he doesn't have to lie down to sleep as often. Hmmmm... I wonder.

I don't think Vader sleeps, I think he meditates. I'm guessing the same applies to Palpatine.

He's more machine then man, with a constant power supply. I doubt he sleeps.

Meditation with a little REM is the best explination I would think.

As for food and waste removal. Same thing. That black box on his chest gives him everything he needs.

Sad.

Does he even need it? Alot of the damage seen seems to suggest severe damage to the lower body and torso from his lava burn. I wouldn't be surprised if he's missing numerous organs and is really just a torso's worth of flesh with *maybe* a heart and brain functioning properly (hence the need for a breathing apparatus).

Yeah, I doubt he eats or sleeps. Who knows what kind of operations he went through to become less of a human.

For all we know, he's probably dozed off on the bridge of the Executor. Can't tell with that helmet on anyway. tongue

Piett: "Lord Vader, we've recieved word from one of the bounty hunters that the Millenium Falcon is en route to Bespin. Shall we pursue?"

*Vader says nothing*

Piett: "My Lord?"

*Vader says nothing*

Piett: "Ummm...Lord Vader?"

*electronic snoring is slightly audible*

Piett: *clears throat loudly*

Vader: *abruptly wakes up* "Yes, yes, softer than sand! Uh? What?"

Piett: "My Lord, we've tracked the Rebel, Han Solo, to Bespin. Shall we pursue?"

Vader: "Yes, do so, Admiral. And alert my crew to prepare coffee. They know how I like it."

Piett: "As you wish, my Lord." *signals two Imperial gunners to the kitchen*

Heh, maybe the anger in Vader's voice as he says "asteroids do not concern me admiral.." comes from Piett disturbing his sleep wink .

I'd be more worried if he needed to sneeze! Could you imagine if he sprayed the inside of his helmet? He wouldn't be able to see where he was going! tongue

<<*electronic snoring is slightly audible*>>

Can you imagine the Emperor being like Grandpa Simpson?

"As you can see, my young apprentice, your
friends have failed. Now witness the
firepower of this fully armed and operational
battle station. (into comlink) Fire at will,
Commander."

Luke turns to watch the 2nd ds fire on the rebel fleet. Turning back he sees Palpatine's head slouched over in his throne, snoring.

Vader's hand is seen shaking the Emperor awake.

"Wah, what? Oh.. Your fleet has lost. And your friends on the Endor moon will not survive.
There is no escape, my young apprentice.
The Alliance will die...as will your friends."

Of course not I doubt he even sleeps at all. he's barely even human anymore, he's basically a cyborg now. So my answer for your question would be no he doesnt sleep with his melmet on, he doesnt sleep at all. of course now I'm just repeating myself but Oh well.

I'm with Loco for Lucas on this one. I think he just passes out in the suit. It probably designed so that I automatically locks into standing position when he wants to sleep.

What I really wanna know is this though. What's the suit cleaning situation? Does he have more than one? Are there washing instructions on it? Do they just buff and polish it while he is still wearing it. Does he clean it himself?
