The ResidentSleeper meme originated from a legendary Twitch moment in 2012 when streamer OddOneIsHe fell asleep during a 72-hour Resident Evil marathon. The frame of him slumped over in exhaustion quickly became a global emote used to signal boredom or that a broadcast has become uninteresting. Beyond Twitch, it has evolved into a universal symbol for anything tedious, from long gaming cutscenes to dry lectures. It remains one of the most recognizable internet symbols for 'falling asleep from boredom,' perfectly capturing the collective fatigue of the digital age.
