What's the letter "Z" got to do with sleeping?

^_^ Mabuhay ka!.... modstar!.... Its all about the alphabet. I watched this on Sesame Street. Like A is for adorable or being "Awake from sleep", B is for beautiful... C, D, E --- Z is for ZzZzZzzzzZzzZz. snore.... ZzZzZzzzzZzzZz.... snore.... snore.... ZzZzZzzzzZzzZz.... ^_^ Salamat!.... and Enjoy!.... myLot!....

yes, its symbolizes snoring. Its the sound low raspy sound that comes out of someone's nose who snores. The mating call of boogers. zzzzzz how you doin? zzzzzz rawwwllll.

It never crossed my mind although I have been using this to show that I am sleepy and bored. I dunno. Maybe it is a quiet sound to show that you are sleeping. If you say zzzz, not mouch sound can be heard.

I've always wondered that. it doesn't make any sense. I know snoring doesn't sound anything like zzzz hhaha

zzzzzzzz......... snoring??? maybe :) so, this one's nice, modstar. you made us wonder why...

That's what I read also from books and magazines even newspapers with cartoons stories. Z maybe signifies the deep sleep and snoring that comes from it. I heard a snoring person many times and it's kinda annoying when you have to wake up with that noise, very irritating to ears and it can really disturb sleeping.

Haha, good question. I have always assumed it was the best way to spell the sound of a snore. I could be wrong.

haha , ive always wondered Y that particular letter Z ? ummm, idk , i guess because of the sound maybe but ehhh , it always stuck with the culture of sleeping i think it should S instead of Z but then if u replace it with S , then it wud be a hissing sound lol

I think that it is meant to signify sleeping. I guess you could say it signifies thoughts that are going through the head, usually dreams that aren't quite sensible. The snoring sound, well, I don't know it's hard to describe.

hello modstar i know what you mean about seeing a z or a bunch of z's in comic strips. and i really never gave it much thought as to the z sound of making the snoring noise before. lol i have also never heard anything about the letter z like that making the snoring sound. the word snoring starts with the letter s, not z, lol you know? so i have no idea why that they use the letter z like they do in comic strips and such for. but you had a very good point or suggestion of the letter z being using for snoring like that. take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

I think as a lot of the MyLotters here that it represents the sound of snoring and I agree that real snoring sounds nothing like that! I wish it did! My husband snores so loudly, he sounds like a freight train! If only he just made a ZZZZ sound, then I would not have to kick him out of my bed and into the spare room!

I can see where you can say what does Z have to do with sleeping. Well actually it really doesn't have anything to do with sleeping. If we look at this a different way the letter Z is at the end of the alphabet right? Well when we go to bed it's the end of our Day. So I would say Z has to do with it because it's the end of our day and Z is the end of the alphabet. Or so that's what I would think.

You can put it that way. Maybe it is used for the appearances of sleeping.

i also wonder what does it stands for...the snoring doesnt sound like that at all...i wonder who created the zzzz .... but i use to it hehe...
