Mostly depends on your throw, but easily around a few minutes. ---

Okay. For everyone who’s asking, SLEEP TIME ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR THROW But generally, it depends on your throw if you’re asking about the sleep time of a specific yoyo. No yoyo “sleeps” longer than the other, because yoyos don’t sleep. Only a person can make is sleep. 😃 ---

IMHO, You will probably get your Dark Magic to sleep longer than an 888 (If they both have the same bearing). The DM has more rim-weight and it’s heavier, which are two key factors for a long spin (Once again, just my personal opinion). But really, it just comes down to a good throw. With a good throw, you can get any ball-bearing yo to sleep over a minute. ---

Long enough for me to do my longest tricks on… three times. Sleep time should not be a concern for you on any yoyo. ---

With a good throw, you can get any ball-bearing yo to sleep over a minute. I agree. I got my Dm to sleep longer than my old 888. ---

I have a pretty good throw but is the 888 smoother than the DM? ---

> [@dertt33](#): > > I have a pretty good throw but is the 888 smoother than the DM? Yes, IMO. If you can, try one out. I really like 888s, but you might not. I remember when sleep time was the only important thing to me, and it is still very important. People will say that sleep times don’t matter. What they are trying to say is that they can’t tell you how long you will get it to sleep for. Hope that makes sense. ---

> [@dertt33](#): > > I have a pretty good throw but is the 888 smoother than the DM? Well, DMs, X-ConVict, X-Con, Speeder, etc… have something called a YYJ vibe, so any metal will likely be smoother(unless it dinged a lot). ---

I don’t agree. This is only with some, not all. All of mine have bean butter smooth from stock to beater. > [@Batryn](#): > > Okay.

No yoyo “sleeps” longer than the other, because yoyos don’t sleep. Only a person can make is sleep. 😃 Yes, but if you throw them at the same time and power, one will be longer than the other. So the yo-yo has to do something with it so one DOES sleep longer, but no one is “better” all around, you are getting confused… or I am. ---
