"Nemuidere" is a term for a character who spends much of their time sleeping, but is very cute, lovey-dovey, and deredere towards their love interest when they are awake. They enjoy their sleeping time and will try to get as much sleep as they can so they can often be seen taking naps throughout the day. Often their favorite thing to do is fall asleep while cuddling with their love interest, and they also enjoy their love interest being the first thing they see when they wake up.

Songs
♫ When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream)
Please, don't wake me No, don't shake me Leave me where I am I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind, I think they're crazy Runnin' everywhere at such a speed 'Til they find there's no need (there's no need)
Please, don't spoil my day I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping
Keepin' an eye on the world going by my window Takin' my time
Lyin' there and staring at the ceiling Waiting for a sleepy feeling ♫ —The Beatles - I'm Only Sleeping
