According to the Catholic Catechism (paragraph 1776): " Deep within the conscience a person discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice, ever calling him to love and to do what is good and to avoid evil, sounds in his heart at the right moment. . . . For every person has in the heart a law inscribed by God. . . . the conscience is our most secret core and sanctuary. There we are alone with God whose voice echoes in our depths" So: our conscience is God's guidance deep within us. Just like children sometimes tune out parental advice, there are people who ignore God's guidance. If this is done on a regular basis, we no longer hear God's voice. It is as though our conscience is alseep. Thus, a 'sleepy conscience' is one which is lazy or does not even hear God Who is speaking.
