Having had a sufficient amount of sleep.
خلفية ثقافية
Asking about sleep is a common 'care-taking' question, similar to asking if someone has eaten. It shows you value their health. Admitting you are 'အိပ်ရေးမဝဘူး' (didn't sleep enough) is often used as a humble excuse if you make a small mistake or seem slow. There is a belief that 'Eik yay wa' leads to 'Kansar' (good fortune) because a rested mind makes better decisions. The phrase is often used ironically on social media to describe the 'zombie' state of students during exam season.
The 'Wa' Rule
You can use 'Wa' for many things: Baik-wa (Full stomach), Seit-wa (Satisfied mind). It always means 'Fullness'.
Don't use with 'Very'
You don't usually say 'Very eik yay wa'. 'Wa' already implies the maximum state of fullness.
