I know it prolly has been asked already but if you are asleep can you use poke-powers/bodies? And when Dakrai MD uses Dark Slumber and it puts the defending pokemon asleep after their turn, do they get to flip right away or do they have to wait for my turn to end???

You cant use any pokepowers that says: "this power cant be used if this pokemon is affected by an special condition." pokebodies are active always, unless they say otherwise.
For darkrai they have to wait until their turn ends, to start fliping. they can do their turn normally, then attack you, then they are asleep.

1) Being asleep is a special condition. And most Poke-Powers, if not all, say "This power can't be used if this pokemon is affected by a special condition". Meaning, you can't use Pokepowers while being asleep. PokeBodies, however, are always in effect, no matter what condition is on your Pokemon.
2) After putting your opponent to sleep, your opponent flips at the Beginning, and End of their turn (If their Pokemon is still asleep). If you put your opponent to sleep, you continue with your turn. When you end it, your opponent flips a coin. If it's heads, it is awake and able to attack. If tails, your opponents pokemon remains asleep for the rest of their turn. After your opponent ends their turn, they flip again. If heads, they are awake, if tails, they remain asleep for your turn, and this process repeats over and over again.
Now with Darkrai's attack "Dark Slumber", your opponent does his/her turn normally w/ whatever he/she decides to do. When they end their turn, your opponents pokemon is now asleep. They flip a coin and if heads, they are awake, tails still asleep.
Keep in mind however, I think if your opponent switches a to a new Pokemon, the affect of "Dark Slumber" is no longer in affect.

Because that's an effect on the Defending Pokemon. The effect sets up a delayed modifier ("the Defending Pokemon is now Asleep") that resolves at a later point ("at the end of your opponent's next turn").
When you bench a Pokemon, all effects that are on it are removed. So the delayed Asleep effect is removed and never gets to resolve.
