#further hc that he refuses to admit he has narcolepsy

[oifaaa]

Fuck your insomniac Tim Drake head canons instead join my team and start pushing the idea that Tim actually has narcolepsy boy can't stop himself from falling asleep even if he wanted to

Sometimes adhd causes narcolepsy-like episodes! It’s called Intrusive Sleep, and it happens usually when someone with adhd is bored/under-stimulated mentally, and their nervous system disengages so abruptly it causes them to suddenly get super drowsy or fall asleep!!

That’s why narcolepsy and adhd often use the same medication! Because it helps regulate the systems in charge of stimulation and alertness!!

It’s also a factor in why narcolepsy and adhd tend to be comorbid, because they have a higher overlap of symptoms.

Anyway long story short it would be very funny if Bruce was giving a briefing, and Tim, who’s usually on top of things, fell asleep from sudden boredom because this particular briefing a) he happened to write and b) didn’t really need to be a briefing.

Bonus points if either a) no one realizes he’s asleep because of his mask covering his eyes, b) does something funny like fall asleep mid-sentence, only to wake up and immediately keep taking a few minutes later when the conversation has moved on, or c) bonks his head on something (not hard!! But, like he falls asleep and goes face-first into a large pile of paperwork, or a sweatshirt on the table or something)
