175 Tired Puns That Are Rest-fully Funny!

I get it, you’ve heard them all, from the crack of dawn jokes to the sleepwalking one-liners. But let’s be honest, tired puns just never seem to get old. They’re like that comfy pillow you can’t part with—overused but oh-so-lovable. There’s something irresistibly charming about puns that play on fatigue. Maybe it’s because they’re relatable, or perhaps they offer a playful way to vent about our collective sleeplessness. Either way, they keep circulating in our conversations, social media feeds, and yes, even our bedtime stories.

So why do these groan-worthy quips endure? For starters, puns are a testament to the flexibility and fun of language. They bend words to their will, finding humor in the overlap between meanings. And let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good eye roll followed by a chuckle? It’s a little mental exercise, a spark of creativity before the sandman takes over. Plus, in a world where the hustle and bustle can be downright exhausting, a well-placed pun might just be the mini-vacation our brains need.

But enough chit-chat—let’s not rest on our laurels. Prepare to grin, bear it, and maybe even laugh out loud as we delve into the snug world of sleepy puns.
