''Literature/WhereTheWildThingsAre'': This classic has young Max sent to his room with no dinner for some rather bad behavior, with his mother calling him "wild thing". One common interpretation of the events that follow is that he falls asleep on his bed and his dream is the rest of the story. He wakes up to a still warm dinner waiting for him in his bedroom.

This trope happening is obviously more common seen in younger characters, though it can happen to (childish) adults as well. It's often used to imply a character's anger is temporary, and they just needed to sleep it off. Narratively, it also helps that their emotional tantrum can be immediately juxtaposed with them being peacefully asleep shortly thereafter (sometimes it can be justified if they were angry ''because'' of SleepDeprivation).

Throwing a tantrum for whatever reason sure can take a lot out of you. After all, your body will need ''some'' way to regain all the energy spent on anger and tears, so don't be surprised if you somehow end up feeling drowsy and/or wanting to fall asleep. That's why toddlers are often put down for a nap after they're done with all the kicking and screaming.

* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': The Hulk has frequently been portrayed as falling asleep shortly after reverting to Bruce Banner. This ends up being [[ExploitedTrope exploited]] in alternate universe works such as ''ComicBook/ThePunisherKillsTheMarvelUniverse'', where the Punisher ambushes Bruce after a post-rampage nap and kills him.
* This has occurred in two different ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' stories, both of them written by Kathryn Immonen:
** In "Homeschooling", Klara's chloropathy powers go haywire after she is injured in an accident. During this time, her plants inform her that the house is about to be invaded, and she tries to warn her friends, but they assume that she's delusional and refuse to listen to her. Unable to get them to listen, she throws a tantrum and ends up being magically tranquilized by Nico, at which point she falls into a deep sleep.
** In "It's Not Lupus", Nico accidentally casts a spell on Molly that causes her to throw a superpowered tantrum. When the spell finally wears off, Molly very quickly falls asleep.

* ''Literature/ClassicSingaporeHorrorStories'': In one of the featured stories, ''Stepchild'', protagonist Katherine ends up going to bed upset because of her 13th Birthday being ruined by the titular stepchild inexplicably deciding to show off his piano-playing skills even though ''she'' is supposed to perform in front of guests. The fact that her dad, rather than consoling her, instead tells Katherine, "Aren't you a bit too old to be playing Three Blind Mice?" doesn't help. Although said stepchild decides to apologize to her before she goes to sleep and give her a small present to make up for being a showoff.
* In the kids' book ''Cranky Right Now'', the protagonist (a little girl) is in a bad mood because she's having a run of bad luck (among other things, her little brother invaded her clubhouse despite the "Keep out, especially boys" sign, and her father told her she couldn't have a granola bar, claiming it was too much sugar, [[ParentalHypocrisy only to eat one himself]]). She stomps around fuming for a while, which tires her out so much that she takes a nap.
* ''Literature/ElephantAndPiggie'': In "I Will Take a Nap", Gerald is in a bad mood due to feeling tired and tries to take a nap. When he lashes out at Piggie, this makes her cranky too, so Gerald jokes, "Maybe ''[[NoYou you]]'' need a nap." Piggie angrily shouts, "Maybe I DO need a nap!" and then falls asleep.
