This reference, involving a slightly older child, combines a breakdown of joint placement with an impression of form.

It is interesting to note that the character's points of contact (pelvis and left forearm) remain static through much of the sequence and provide a base, a set of pivots, for the rest of the action.
The focus here is on the sweep of the hand across the face, the reactive head movement and the arcs of the right arm joints. Although naturalistic, the movements display some healthy extremes and variations in timing. These assist in the presentation of feeling, not only giving physical weight to the character's limbs but also to his emotional state.

The half-awake feeling is reinforced by the pose (reclined, legs akimbo) and in his apparent lack of self-awareness. This is not a person trying to present an image of control.
Perhaps this is one key to portraying these characters, self-image increasingly modifying our behaviour as we grow older.
