The 'First Person to Fall Asleep at the Sleepover' meme refers to a long-standing internet trend highlighting the perils of losing the battle against exhaustion during a group hangout. This meme often features exaggerated or surreal images—ranging from people covered in marker ink to individuals encased in elaborate tape structures—to represent the extreme pranks played on the first friend to drift off. Gaining massive traction on TikTok and Twitter in the early 2020s, the trend relies on hyperbole to showcase the unspoken rule of sleepovers: stay awake at all costs. It has evolved from simple jokes into a competitive format where users find increasingly absurd and chaotic images to represent the unfortunate victim of the night.
