睡着

睡着 means 'asleep' or 'fast asleep.' It describes a state of being in deep sleep, often used to indicate that someone has fallen into a peaceful and undisturbed sleep.

The character 睡 (shuì) means 'to sleep,' while 着 (zhe) is a particle used to indicate a continuous or ongoing action. Together, they form a phrase that emphasizes the state of being asleep rather than the act of sleeping itself.

睡着 is commonly used in daily conversations to describe someone who has gone to sleep or is already asleep. It can also be used in more poetic contexts to emphasize the peacefulness of sleep. In Chinese culture, sleep is highly valued, and expressions related to it often reflect respect for rest and well-being.
