* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': Snoopy was quite the connoisseur of naps. Best exemplified in one strip where he bemoans "I missed the golden age of radio. I missed the golden age of television. I missed the golden age of movies. I ''refuse'' to miss the golden age of sleeping!"

** Jade Harley is a GenkiGirl living with her dog on an isolated island. Given her general lack of responsibilities, she spends a lot of her time sleeping- and continues to be active while doing so, thanks to a robot her dream self can control in the waking world. This creeps her friends out to no avail when she chats with them while technically asleep, and at one point Dave tricks her into waking herself up by slapping her sleeping body with her robot body. This is eventually revealed to be [[spoiler: psychic induced Narcolepsy, from Vriska's testing on her.]]

->'''Cat:''' What about naps? I'm a cat: I need some naps. If I don't nap nine or ten times a day, I don't have enough energy for my main snooze.
-->-- ''Series/RedDwarf'', "Queeg"

This trope describes a character that just ''loves'' sleeping. They frequently take naps and may outright consider sleeping to be an art or hobby.

Often they will take their going to sleep routine very seriously because for them, it's a ritual. What they eat and drink before going to bed is important -- [[WarmMilkHelpsYouSleep a glass of warm milk is common]]. They are likely to wear nice pajamas and perhaps even a nightcap. They will pay attention to the place where they sleep: a nice couch at the office will do just fine, but at home, they will have a good bed with fluffy pillows, a nice comforter, and clean, freshly washed sheets. A sweet pet bed is a variant for animals. They will often beg for FiveMoreMinutes when woken up or [[RudeAwakening violently attack the awaker]].

The reasons for this vary: They might really dislike active lifestyle and action-oriented hobbies. They can be fond of vivid dreams and extra adventures and memories they provide. They might be aware that lack of sleep will make them cranky and annoying. Perhaps they just love how fresh and alert they feel when they wake up after a really good night's sleep. It might help them to focus. Or they can be simply too lazy for other hobbies and interests. They might be TheSleepless who really longs to sleep.

* In the manga version of ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'', it's often noted that Jun Ushiro likes sleeping. He notably is unable to sleep around the time his turn to fight comes up, since he's less concerned about [[spoiler:his impending death no matter how the battle goes]] than he is about whether the result of the battle will mean anything. It doesn't help that he has nightmares about [[spoiler:his adoptive sister Kana's death.]]

* Belgian comic ''ComicBoo/{{Yakari}}'' has the beaver Bois-de-Lit (literally 'Bedwood'), who tries and sleep on every single surface he finds: a branch, grass, rocks, a pony's back... as soon as he settles somewhere he falls asleep and it takes ''a lot'' of yelling to wake him up again.
