Also used humorously to react to dull content or long explanations (“that meeting summary 💤”).
In Japanese chats, 💤 is closely tied to actual sleep or rest—it’s often paired with “おやすみ〜” (“good night”) rather than sarcasm. Many people even use it in cute, cozy ways, like texting “今寝るね💤” (“I’m going to sleep now💤”).
In Western chats, 💤 can read as dismissive if you use it right after someone talks—save it for self-deprecating or obvious “I’m sleepy” moments.
