Once Hanuman saw Sita applying sindhoor to her hair. He asked her what purpose it served to which Sita replied that it was for the well being and long life of Lord Rama. Hearing this, Hanuman smeared his entire body with sindhoor for the long life of Lord Rama.

Lord Rama was really impressed by this and granted a boon that those who worship Lord Hanuman in the future with sindhoor, would see all their difficulties go away. Hence Hanuman’s idol is always coated with sindhoor.

During the 1st night of vanvaas, Nidra, the Goddess of sleep visited Lakshman but he requested her to let him be awake for 14yrs so he could protect his brother and sister-in-law. She agreed on the condition that somebody will have to take his place and sleep for 14years.

Urmila, (sister of Sita) Lakshman's wife slept both his and her shares of sleep so that he remained awake, protecting Lord Rama and Sita. She slept for the whole period of exile (14 years) and only woke up when Laxman returned to Ayodhya.
