Best answer

Sleep prevents Pokémon from making a move for a random number of its turns (unless it is put to sleep by Rest, in which case it always lasts 2 turns). The specifics vary between generations.

Generation I
Sleep lasts 1-7 turns (1-3 in the Stadium series); this counter is not reset upon switching out. A Pokémon cannot move on the turn it wakes up.

It lasts a random number of turns between 1-7. That means there is about a 14% chance a Pokemon will wake up every turn.

How do you know the chance of waking up on each turn is the same?
The article states that sleep universally lasts a random number of turns within a certain range. The range is 7 turns in Gen I so if it is truly random the chance should be equal every turn to wake up.
