The Odinsleep was a state of deep sleep that Odin periodically entered to recharge the Odinforce, the magical energy that gave him his power. While in the Odinsleep, Odin was left vulnerable, though he was aware of what transpired not only around him, but throughout the entire universe.
Odin, knowing the Nine Realms would be unguarded without him, would delay entering the Odinsleep for millennia.
Odin finally entered the Odinsleep after his adoptive son, Loki, berated him for not telling him of his true heritage as the son of Laufey. The Einherjar escorted his unconscious body to his bed, where his wife, Frigga, watched over him. While Odin remained in his slumber, Loki took the throne of Asgard due to Odin's eldest son, Thor, being banished.
