Bearded dragon in a dead sleep??

Question
Hi Pam,

I just got a bearded dragon tonight from somebody who was looking for a new home for her.  She is 1 1/2 years old and about 12-13 inches long including her tail.  She is very docile and i absolutley love her already.  I was holding her tonight and letting her have some free time on my couch.  About 9:30 PM and she walked around for a few minutes and nuzled herself between my arm and my leg (i was sitting on the couch)  She stayed that way for about 5 minutes so I decided to put her back into her home.  I gently picked her up trying not to disturb her because her eyes were closed and she was sleeping.  She didn't even move!  She was limp like dead asleep.  I didn't think anything of it until I put her into her enclosure and she still didnt even move she just let me lay her on her belly.  I was nervouse that she was dead so I petted her and she still didn't do anything.  Finally I picked her up again and she awoken.  Is this normal for them to go into a deep sleep like that?  

Another question that I have is her eyes seem a little bit droopy just a little.  Or maybe not droopy at all seeing as I'm a new bearded owner it could be normal and im just over worried about her.

Third question -  the end of her tail is a little crimped.  Is that normal or a sign that she is unhealthy.  Her previous owner seemed very concerned and knowledgable.  I was given vitamins and stuff with her so I feel she was well taken care of.

She is in a 40 gallon breeder tank with a slate bottom.  She has a basking light and a uv light.  Her uv light is a 7.0  does she need a higher rated light?

Any info you can pass on to me regarding these questions will be greatly appreciated

Answer
 If you are in the northen hemisphere, then sleeping is very normal.  They go into a winter dormancy called brumation and it can vary from year to year from a deep sleep to a light half sleep while they bask.  Their metabolism slows down to where even though they don't eat, they don't lose much weight.  Adults go through this and if she is 18 months old, then she is an adult. Perfectly normal.

 The crimping was probably caused by a clutchmate who mistook his sister's tail for something to eat and bit it.  She'll do fine.

 7.0 sounds like an ESU brand which is not the best.  And frequently ESU fixtures come with a cover which they neglect to tell you to take off.  Better to replace the tube with a Reptisun 10.0 and make sure it's the tube, not the compact or coil type. Replace tubes every six moths because the light stops producing usable UVB after that time.
