I heard in a podcast

> ってことは、たったままでねるってこと

I think it means something like "So that means you can sleep while standing?"
but I'm not sure what the ってこと is doing here. The first one I get it's similar
to つまり or am I wrong?

How do you use ってこと
> 「 **ってことは** 、たったままでねるってこと。」

「 **って** ことは」 is an informal form of 「 **という** ことは」. Other informal forms
include 「 **つう** ことは」、「 **ちゅう** ことは」, etc.

When one of these expressions is used to **start a sentence** , its function
is to rephrase and/or summarize what has already been stated.

It is synonymous to 「つまりは」 or 「結局{けっきょく}は」. The English counterpart would be "
** _So that means ~~_** " or " ** _That is to say ~~_** "

> "So that means you/they/we/I sleep standing up."
