I experienced miscommunication with my SO, she was constantly using sleepy emoji as a sad/crying emoji:

Frankly I couldn’t have guessed that was a sleepy emoji if you paid me, or that it’s not a tear....
The snoring snot bubble is popular trope in Japan. It was featured in western cartoons in the days of Popeye and Tom&Jerry. But, it fell out of fashion in the West long ago.
That is definitely a sad, crying face.

How is there no [ ZZZ ] talk balloon floating above, to indicate the obvious snoring?

That's a different emoji.
