Basic Trope: A character falls asleep after throwing a tantrum.
- Straight: Bobby throws a tantrum, and then falls asleep after he's done.
- Exaggerated: Bobby throws a tantrum for half an hour (or longer). He ends up going to bed for several hours.
- Downplayed: Bobby doesn't actually throw a tantrum, but he does get angry over something, and feels tired after he's done.
- Justified:
- Bobby is a young child (or a Manchild), and this is quite common for them to do in real life.
- Bobby spends a lot of energy throwing a tantrum, and he feels tired afterwards.
- Inverted:
- Bobby throws a tantrum after waking up.
- Bobby feels more energized after getting angry.
- Subverted: After getting angry, Bobby's parents suggest that he must be tired, and they suggest that he takes a nap. He doesn't feel tired.
- Double Subverted: ...or so he claims. He falls asleep right afterwards.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Bobby doesn't throw a tantrum.

- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: Bobby's parents tell him to take a nap after he throws a tantrum.
- Exploited: ???

- Played for Laughs: Right before naptime/bedtime, Bobby starts ranting about how he's not even tired, only to fall asleep in the middle of his rant.
