RatSleep

RatSleep is used to express tiredness, sleepiness, or a state of relaxation and comfort in Twitch chat. It conveys a cozy, peaceful feeling and is often used when viewers are watching late-night streams, feeling drowsy, or when the stream content is particularly chill and relaxing. The emote can also be used humorously to indicate that something is boring or putting the chatter to sleep, though it's more commonly used in an endearing, wholesome context rather than as criticism.

RatSleep is a 7TV emote that features a pet rat sleeping peacefully in what appears to be a bed or cushioned surface. The emote emerged in the early 2020s as part of the growing collection of cozy and wholesome animal emotes on 7TV. It gained popularity as streamers and viewers sought cute, comfy alternatives to express sleepiness or relaxation in chat. The emote represents the broader trend of animal-based emotes that convey specific moods or states, with rats becoming particularly popular in Twitch culture during this period.

RatSleep is typically used during late-night or early-morning streams when viewers are staying up past their bedtime. It appears when streamers are doing calm, low-energy content like chatting, creative work, or playing relaxing games. Viewers spam it when they're comfy in bed watching the stream, during cozy 'just chatting' segments, or when the streamer themselves mentions being tired. It's also common in streams with a wholesome or comfy vibe, and sometimes appears ironically during slow or uneventful moments. The emote fits well in communities that embrace cute animal emotes and cozy stream culture.
