The weekend cannot come fast enough for these hilariously tired tots.

You know that feeling: when you look at your calendar, phone, or car’s dashboard display and think: “How on earth is it not the weekend yet?”

With a whole day left to go before we can stare at our smartphones or Facebook news feeds without also having work to do, the weekend can feel like a long way off. But spare a thought for these kids in Japan, who couldn’t even make it to the end of the day, let alone the week.

Popular Twitter hashtag “#我が子の電池切れ画像” (roughly “pics of my kid with zero battery”) has been around for a while now, but continues to provide us with stacks of hilarious cute images of kids who just couldn’t keep their eyes open.

So, with just under a day left until the weekend, we present for your amusement and delectation: 18 Japanese kids who are in dire need of a recharge. Enjoy!

1. This kid is done.

2. So is this guy.
