process question

What does the sleeping status of a process mean? If I kill that process,
will I lose anything?Hi,
You are not supposed to kill a process in sleeping state, because most of
the time if the process wait for a user Input or waiting for a lock will be
in sleeping mode.
It can go for Running status any time.
Thanks
