While in battle sometimes monsters will perform attacks that cause changes in your otherwise normal status. (Such as sleep and paralysis.) When this happens it is possible to easily rid yourself of these two status changes by simply pressing the B button (blue button) when the turn of the player with the status change comes up. The dialog box at the top of the screen will say for example "Gre is alseep," and show a close up of your character, now press the B button and your character will be fully awake or fully able out of paralysis on his/her next turn.
