zzzs
Cartoon sleep sounds
Zzzs represents the sound of snoring or sleeping, from the conventional comic-strip representation of sleep.
To catch some zzzs or get some zzzs is to sleep: I need to grab a few zzzs before the meeting.
The word is informal and playful, usually suggesting a nap rather than a full night's rest.
