Young Boy Cries After Waking Up at 6 PM & Learning It’s Almost Bedtime Again
A young boy gets emotional and bursts into tears after waking up from an afternoon nap has brought smiles to many people online.
On September 25, 2026, Karizze Babor Sulayao shared a video of her five-year-old son named Stephen Zzenrick, also known as “Z,” crying after waking up past 6:00 p.m and realizing that the day was almost over.
However, his nap lasted longer than expected. When he finally woke up, it was already evening. Instead of feeling refreshed, the little boy became upset after seeing that it was already dark outside.
His mother explained that Z enjoys playing outdoors after school. When he saw that the sun had already set, he immediately realized that he would no longer be allowed to go outside and play with other children. The thought of missing his playtime left him disappointed and frustrated.
“Frustrated siya kapag nakita niyang madilim na kasi alam niya na bawal na po siyang lumabas para makapaglaro. Kaya grabe po ‘yung iyak niya sa video at galit talaga siya sa daddy niya kasi po ‘yung husband ko po ang nagpapatulog sa kaniya,” Karizze said.
The child had just woken up. Yet before he could fully enjoy being awake, bedtime was already approaching once again.
His mother also shared that Z was particularly upset with his father, who had been the one encouraging him to sleep that afternoon. The boy seemed to blame him for sleeping through most of the evening.
Despite the tears, the family took the moment lightly and comforted the child. They simply allowed him to enjoy some extra playtime indoors until he felt sleepy again.
Some joked that when Z grows older, he may look back and wish he had enjoyed every opportunity to sleep as much as he could during childhood.
The social media users expressed their reactions to the video:
