* Despite the fact that Jing Yuan in ''VideoGame/HonkaiStarRail'' is the Arbiter-General of the Xianzhou Luofu and has a commanding presence on and off the battlefield, he also has the notorious reputation among the citizens as being lazy, earning him the nickname "The Dozing General" as he has been known to be found napping during work hours and birds have been noted to nest in his hair when he's asleep. The truth is, he's diligent enough to keep routine matters in line before things spiral out of control, which allows him more slack. Although, Master Diviner Fu Xuan has accused him multiple times of falling asleep in front of her while she was talking.

* Ash Ketchum's Rowlet in the ''[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon Sun and Moon]]'' anime is a ''huge'' example of one. It's been known to sleep for hours at a time, especially during the day, to the point where other Pokémon (namely Lana's Popplio) are annoyed by it. It's so much of this to the point that OOCIsSeriousBusiness strikes Professor Kukui hard in episode 21 of season 12, where he is woken up by Rowlet -- and finds, much to his shock, that it's ''early.'' ''In the daytime.'' ''And Rowlet's wide awake.''

** Ganyu is such a sleepyhead she has been known to wake up outside of Liyue because she napped in a cart. Because she is a ridiculously hard worker, aided by being a 3000-year old adeptus. she does deserve her nap time but it can cause worries for her employees.
** Layla is the typical overworked/overstressed college student, Teyvat style. Even her animation when she is chosen as a party member has her falling asleep on a globe. It doesn't help that when she sleeps her other, highly competent, personality takes over. IT helps her get her work done correctly but it also means her body doesn't get the rest it deserves.

* ''Anime/KemonoFriends'': [[PandaingToTheAudience Giant Panda's]] main trait is that she easily falls asleep, whether she is in the middle of giving directions or just defeated an entire pack of Ceruleans. TruthInTelevision as pandas don't get a lot of nutrients from eating only bamboo, thus it makes them lethargic.
