A staple Twitch chat phrase posted whenever moderators are AFK and chat takes the opportunity to break a rule or post forbidden memes. Almost always followed by mass-posting of whatever the chat isn't usually allowed to do (a banned emote, a horny copypasta, raid taunts). Self-defeating: posting 'mods asleep' is itself a flag that wakes up mods.

A chat command (often a hot-key/emote) that prints '!modcheck' or pings the moderator list to see who's actually awake and on duty. Used jokingly when chat is rule-breaking and no mods are stopping it, or sincerely to summon a mod when raids/spam start. Many bots respond automatically with a count of active mods.
A native Twitch global emote of a man asleep at his keyboard, used to indicate boredom. Posted en-masse when a stream is dragging, a game is slow, a streamer is talking off-topic for too long, or a match is one-sided. The 'ResidentSleeper meter' is informal Twitch shorthand for how boring something is.
(slang) Inattentive.
A playful informal adjective or predicative term meaning asleep. Formed on the pattern of a- prefix constructions common in dialect and informal English (afoot, afire, aglow). Light and slightly whimsical in register — using it signals a gentle, almost literary touch. More likely to appear in children's writing, playful adult conversation, or social media captions than in standard prose. The a- prefix construction gives it a slightly poetic, old-fashioned feel that suits cozy or whimsical contexts rather than urgent or serious ones.
