sound asleep; fast asleep
Describes being deeply asleep, often with a nuance of sleeping so soundly that one looks untidy or disheveled. The word combines 寝 (sleep) and 汚い (dirty/untidy), implying a messy sleeping state.
He was sound asleep on the sofa, looking disheveled.
General untidiness or slovenliness, not necessarily related to sleep. This sense is less common and may be considered an extension of the sleeping-related meaning.
His room was untidy and messy.
