grabbing some Zs
Getting some shuteye
Grabbing some Zs means getting some sleep.
The Z comes from "zzz," the conventional representation of snoring in comics and cartoons.
The phrase is casual and often implies a nap or brief rest rather than a full night's sleep: I'm going to grab some Zs before the party.
