What is a Pokemon Check?
There is a phase at the end of each Player's turn where all pokemon with status effects will be checked by the game. If you have a status condition, the game will make you take damage, do a coin toss, or recover naturally.
Since checks happen on every change of turns, your status ailments can also cure at the end of your opponent's turn.
How to Cure Sleep

Land Heads on a coin toss
