Line 13:
** The matter of sleep was actually addressed in the third episode of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'''s first season, with [[Mentor Mascot|Yuuno]] telling Nanoha to take a break since she's exhausting herself. Naturally, that led to her missing a [[Mineral MacGuffin|Jewel Seed]] [[My Greatest Failure|that proceeded to damage her town]]. Also, in the second season, the Wolkenritter go out searching for Linker Cores at night, because they spend their days with Hayate, who is not supposed to know about their nightly trips. Justified by them being artificial constructs who might not need sleep at all.
*** And then there's Teana, who puts herself through a rigorous training regimen (in addition to her regular training which in and of itself is very demanding) resulting in only sleeping four hours a night. At the end of it she's so exhausted her body needs 30+ hours of sleep to recover.
** As the [[Sailor Moon]] English [[Expository Theme Song]] tells us, the titular heroine is [[Ear Worm|"Fighting evil by moonlight, [[Ear Worm]] winning love by daylight..."]] Even before becoming a warrior of love, she was having problems getting to school on time, but somehow being Sailor Moon doesn't compound it at all.
** Played with in ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. Though [[Gotta Catch Em All|catching magical and mischievous cards]] shouldn't be particularly exhausting (considering she catches 52 of them over the course of roughly 15 months; it's not even a weekly occurrence), transforming them is quite draining to her limited magic. (As well as using the [[Timey-Wimey Ball|Time and Return Cards]], [[Worf Effect|which even knock]] ''[[Badass|Syaoran]]'' [[Worf Effect|for a loop]]!) Because of this, Sakura tends to doze off during class, or immediately after said transformation. She will also occasionally fall asleep in class for the purpose of having a prophetic dream ([[Captain Obvious|which tends to require the dreamer to be asleep at the time]]).
*** {{spoiler|Yukito/Yue}} plays this trope far more dramatically.
Line 27:
*** That's because Yoshimori usually goes all out, exerting his energy while Tokine thinks things through and only does what she must. Yoshi-mori outright exhausts himself.
* The girls get hit on both ends in ''[[Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z]]''. When they have to fight at night they're look exhausted the next day, and they're show having to take a supplementary class. On one occaison they actually have to leave the professor to fight monsters while they take their school finals.
