| Catching Some Z's | comment |
A Stock Visual Metaphor trope used widely in comics and animated media. When a character sleeps, sometimes a lot of "Z's" are shown near the character, either in the form of a stream of z's coming from the character's mouth or head, or a group of "Zzz's" contained in a speech bubble. This trope used to be shown specifically for people who snore in their sleep. While snoring is rather tricky to represent (sometimes it's represented as a log being sawed inside a speech bubble), the onomatopoeia "Z" was chosen as an approximation of what it sounds like. The trope is omnipresent in comics and animation but is rarely used in live-action media or animation showing live-action people since it's usually a trope in drawn or rendered media. The trope is so obvious that people in media and real life use the term "Catching some Z's", or in Britain, Canada, or Australia, "Fetching some zeds" to indicate they're going to go to sleep. Amusingly, it makes no sense; the Z's usually flutter off into space, and nobody catches them. See Snot Bubble for the anime version of this. Compare: Circling Birdies. Examples |

From Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty onwards (including Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes), tranquilizer guns can be used to knock out guards. The amount of Z's floating over their head provide a clue as to how long you have before they wake up; if only one Z is floating above a guard, he's about to wake up any second. Guards who are beaten unconscious have circling stars instead (and a reduced amount of stars is also an indicator of waking up). | |

Card City Nights: From multiple characters, and on some cards, in the first game: The Crystal card has 6 Zs floating around a Crystal that's got its eyes closed. Implying it's asleep, especially since it looks like Green Crystal when she fakes, or is really, sleeping. Green Crystal's lines of doing some Talking in Your Sleep, or possible faking it, all start with "Zzz..." and end with "... zzz...", except for: When Loafer is defeated, she says "Zzz..." while her eyes are closed, and her mouth is emitting Zs. The player remarks: In the second game, in a possible panel of the Ittle Dew Comic Generator, Tippsie is lying on grass, with Zs coming from her mouth, while she's holding a Health Potion and the following panels are encased in a cloud-shaped Speech Bubble. |

Garfield: The titular Garfield is known to have Z's in a speech bubble. Unusually, it's usually only a single Z. In one strip, he stirred in his sleep and pondered that he was wasting his life and needed to add some variety. He achieved this by going back to sleep with a fancy, stylised Z. He did the same thing after seeing "amateurs" Jon and Odie sleep with normal Zs. In another strip, Jon tried to push away Garfield's giant Z speech bubble to wake him up. |

Metal Gear: In Metal Gear, Solid Snake occasionally comes across guards who fall asleep, and Z's are visible above their heads. The NES version infamously has one on the very second screen, who will wake himself up after just a few seconds exclaiming, "I feel asleep!" Continues on through the sequels. When falling asleep on their own like this, the guards are usually easily awakened by the player making noise (e.g. firing an unsilenced gun, or walking on a noisy surface). From Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty onwards (including Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes), tranquilizer guns can be used to knock out guards. The amount of Z's floating over their head provide a clue as to how long you have before they wake up; if only one Z is floating above a guard, he's about to wake up any second. Guards who are beaten unconscious have circling stars instead (and a reduced amount of stars is also an indicator of waking up). |

Subverted in Undertale. You first meet Napstablook when you find your way through the Ruins blocked by them, apparently sleeping. They're actually wide awake and just saying 'z' out loud repeatedly. Played straight with Sans on the Genocide Route, who exhausts themselves trying to take you out once and for all and eventually falls asleep while trying to stall forever in hopes that you'll just give up. Interestingly, the font used for the "Zs" in question isn't Comic Sans (Sans' usual font) or 8-bit Operator (The font Sans uses when he gets serious), but rather Aster, suggesting a possible connection with Dr. W.D. Gaster. | |

Super Mario Bros. Super Mario World does this with Rip Van Fish in the aquatic levels. Luigi's Mansion: Sue Pea when scanned is sleeping with Zs in her dialogue. Super Mario RPG: In the original version, when Princess Peach is put to sleep, she'll have some Z's around her. Sleeping characters in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door have this. Mario's sleeping Idle Animation in both Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy (and its sequel) have little Z's floating above him as he snores away. Funny enough they appear before Mario's yawning animation finishes. The cover◊ of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team shows Luigi with some Zs for Western releases. The Japanese cover◊ uses a Snot Bubble instead. |

Pokémon Sleeping Pokémon snore on their turn, while a few Zs float up from their head. Also, the move Snore has big spiky Zs in its animation in the third gen games. In Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon will sometimes be found fast asleep after launching up Pokémon Amie, complete with little "Zzzs" coming from it. No use in playing with a sleeping Pokémon, so it's gotta be woken upnote if they're asleep as a status effect, you have to use medicine in Pokemon Refresh; they also appear asleep if they're fainted, in which case you can't wake them up at all and will go back in the ball after a few seconds. Also, in Pokemon Amie and Pokemon Refresh, some Pokemon have a special sleeping animation where they're nestled in rather than nodding off. While in XY, this effect was not used, it is used even for the special sleeping animations in Sun and Moon. The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series also makes use of this. Sleeping Pokémon in Gates of Infinity have Zs coming out of them, be it because of enemy status attacks or just far too lengthy exposition. The series also has traps that put Pokémon to sleep represented with Zs on it. And in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, this also happens in the overworld for sleeping Pokemon sometimes, be it when sleeping through stories (in Pancham and Shelmet's case during the story about a Graveler counting Mareep), sleeping before lectures (in your partner's case, and also doing this in their dialog box, thus leaving you to hear Carracosta's entire lecture), and a few others. During the Pokemon Mini game, Togepi's Great Adventure, after completing the Tower Of Adventure, Togepi comes across a Hypno, who immediately uses Hypnosis the moment it comes into view. This results the inevitable happening, with little Zs coming out of Togepi. This causes Hypno to carry it off to the Tower Of Ordeal, with Zs still coming out of Togepi at the top of the tower. |

They appear again after falling asleep a second time after Starfire's failed attempt to convince them that Mae Eye's a witch. | |

In Metal Gear, Solid Snake occasionally comes across guards who fall asleep, and Z's are visible above their heads. The NES version infamously has one on the very second screen, who will wake himself up after just a few seconds exclaiming, "I feel asleep!" Continues on through the sequels. When falling asleep on their own like this, the guards are usually easily awakened by the player making noise (e.g. firing an unsilenced gun, or walking on a noisy surface). | |

In Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon will sometimes be found fast asleep after launching up Pokémon Amie, complete with little "Zzzs" coming from it. No use in playing with a sleeping Pokémon, so it's gotta be woken upnote if they're asleep as a status effect, you have to use medicine in Pokemon Refresh; they also appear asleep if they're fainted, in which case you can't wake them up at all and will go back in the ball after a few seconds. Also, in Pokemon Amie and Pokemon Refresh, some Pokemon have a special sleeping animation where they're nestled in rather than nodding off. While in XY, this effect was not used, it is used even for the special sleeping animations in Sun and Moon. | |
