Little Thai Boy Takes a Nap Mid-Soccer Game, Captivating Social Media

Sleep is essential for our bodies to heal and function properly. When we don’t get enough rest, it can lead to unexpected fatigue, even during daily activities. This was humorously illustrated in a recent instagram video showing a young boy napping right on the soccer field—while standing up.

According to Seasia News, the child was reportedly so excited about the game that he couldn’t sleep the night before. When the game started, he ended up dozing off right in the middle of the pitch, oblivious to the action around him. The other players navigated around him as if he were just another part of the field, and even the referee, who checked on him, realized he was simply in need of a nap. The boy eventually woke up and resumed playing.

The video went viral, sparking a flurry of humorous comments. One user wrote, “Me every monday to Friday,” while another joked, “That’s my lost son right there.” A third commented, “I bet he had a super good heavy meal,” and another quipped, “Legend has it he is still sleeping.”

Some users suggested the boy might have had sleep apnea, a condition where breathing difficulties during sleep can lead to daytime drowsiness. According to the Cleveland Clinic, sleep apnea disrupts sleep and can have significant long-term effects if left untreated.
