- Mods asleep68%
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.
- 😴65%
A yellow face with closed eyes and a small open mouth, with a 💤 floating above. Means literally asleep, exhausted, "going to bed now", or — in dismissive contexts — "this is so boring I'm falling asleep". Common in goodnight messages, "couldn't stay awake" recaps and reactions to dull content. Reads warmer than 💤 alone because of the face.
- 💤62%
Three blue letter Zs stacked in a leftward-leaning column. Means sleeping, tired, "going to bed", or — in 2026 slang — bored ("this is putting me to 💤"). Used at the end of goodnight texts, on tired-day vent posts, or as a reaction to anything dull. Reads casual; never sarcastic in a hostile way. Almost always pairs with bedtime or boredom context.
