There's a free game that gives you rewards every 6 real life hours that I've been sort of using as a gauge because time is meaningless. I haven't managed to get the rewards twice in one day since I started because I fall asleep again before the 6 hours are up. Sometimes only after 2 hours. Good ol' hypersomnia!

I honestly don't have a whole lot of tips for fending off sleep attacks. I once fell asleep while making out with the girlfriend I had at the time. *facepalm* You would think kissing a tall, curvy lesbian would keep me from having a sleep attack, but no.

Lately, I've had to resort to using nicotine lozenges to fight off sleep attacks or break me out of extreme sleep inertia. I don't want to encourage other people to start using nicotine. I use it sparingly so I don't get physically addicted. I read legitimate medical journal articles about using nicotine therapy as a treatment for Narcolepsy and got desperate enough to give it a try. No vaping or smoking because my lungs are shitty already from pectus excavatum.

Other than that, it's just getting myself to get up and move before I get locked in my body and then fall asleep.

I have to use craft projects and fidget toys at work because sitting completely still is the kiss of death for consciousness. I would likely get fired if I fell asleep at work in front of the kids.

Idiopathic Hypersomnia Life Hacks I Am Currently Field Testing:

Putting my shoes on and not taking them off so I can't get back in bed or lie down on the couch. (Roommate's genius suggestion I wish I had thought of. I don't like wearing my street shoes in the home, so perhaps I need separate indoor anti-sleepytime shoes. I'm not a crocs kind of gal, but perhaps just for at home)

Washing my bedding on my days off from work so my blankets cannot beckon me with their siren song (also, I get horrible night sweats. I wake up DRENCHED, so my bedding needs the extra washing anyway. Anyone else with IH or Narcolepsy have this???)

Not sitting down to watch TV or play video games unless I have finished my to-do list first.

Post-it notes everywhere. For everything. I wouldn't even remember to brush my own teeth if I hadn't put a post-it note on my bathroom mirror

Other Hypersomniacs of any breed, please feel free to add your tips and tricks.

I'm so oblivious to holidays istg but I had a thought pop into my head before I realized that might actually make for a cute short Vday fic. 🤔 But that also requires being awake for more than 20 minutes at a time so I can get that done before the end of tomorrow ahaha. Hah. C'mon self!

took a "sick day" from work cuz i woke up and was so sleepy and slept until 5pm

[jaydeswitchblade]

a night full of seizures and sleep paralysis, i truly feel brain dead today. (ᵔᴥᵔ)

[wallabywannabe]

oof. I don't know what it is about the change to a diurnal schedule, but whatever it is is making the accutane side effects kick in hard.

All of the sudden my eyes are so dry I can't wear contacts at all. My eyes are red all day even with eyedrops. Wearing my glasses all day also hurts a bit behind the ears and gives me a headache. In fact everything just kind of hurts. It's whatever nothing is that bad to the point where it's not worth it. It's just weird having my body react in ways it hasn't before.

ok im also gonna catch up on some sleep so gnight silly creatures on my phone !!!!

Y’all don’t make use of subtle/weird traits in fics enough.

Dudes—

Bakugou literally has hyperhidrosis. Make him switch shirts constantly, or constantly wiping his hands, or outright refusing to touch things because nitroglycerin is a volatile substance.

Midoriya is constantly chewing on his lips or thumb while in thought. Either his lips are SO chapped or he’s a skin picker and the skin around his finger tips are super rough.

Uraraka is a poor kid. She would absolutely have some kind of financial anxiety. Make her be extremely frugal OOOORRR BETTER YET make her absolutely awful with money.

Aizawa is a hypersomniac. Give the man a nightmare disorder or something. We can be more imaginative than just always kinda tired.

Kirishima has/had really bad quirk envy. Please I need to see this addressed more. Even at the best hero school, in the top class, he talks down on his quirk.

Todoroki really doesn’t think very much. He acts quickly but very thoughtlessly. Coming to incorrect conclusions and moving too fast without knowing what to do next.

Alien stage Male characters x male reader who's always tired, he can literally fall asleep anywhere and at anytime (He can fall asleep while standing, but he would collapse to the ground shortly after), he literally has to get carried around often by his friends because they fear he'll hurt himself

thsi si cute......sure. also someone requested a (character) reader, sorry but idk many anime characters... ;;;; I HOPE THIs was okay because I feel like its all over there place...... ill check it when I'm sober

ALIEN STAGE CHARACTERS WITH A HYPERSOMNIAC READER

People see you fall to the ground, and some don't even blink an eye, aware that it's not the first time.

"Mister! He's on the ground again!"

"drag him elsewhere!!!"

Everyone is in the middle of practicing their song, and you're dozing off. You really tried, but a nap sounded really good at the moment. So, without any other reason, you slowly close your eyes, and your singing starts to slur.

He sighs because he knows you'll start falling as soon as he blinks, and he'll watch you land on the ground while some stop singing to ask if you're alright.

You're randomly talking to him, and he turns to look at you because you didn't finish your story, only to find you fast asleep.

a few like to watch you when you sleep

Younger Till would scream in panic every time and quickly carry you to someplace where you could rest.

Unlike him, though, there are people like young Luka or Ivan who'll stare at you for a few minutes before deciding whether to help you or not.

Both of them knew that this habit might cost you your life.

One time, ivan was walking towards his little alien dogs. he found you fast asleep next to them and so he just plopped down next to you and stared at the roof.

Till would talk your ear off, and when it's important, he'll yell at you to wake up while he's still talking.

"WAKE UP!!" Till shakes you. You rub your eyes and mumble: yeah, I'm awake...

"good because...." and you're back to sleep.

If you were in Alien Stage and having a conference with Luka there by your side, he'd hold you up straight while talking because he knows you too well.

You'd probably rub your eyes awake as you sit up from your bed mumbling a "you're back..." before dragging them into the bed with you to fall asleep.

Till is a worry rat (he finds it annoying but he also feels warm inside because he feels the need to protect you)

Ivan joins you or watches over you (he finds you intriguing and enjoys admiring things about you while you sleep)

Luka tries to keep you awake (you can't be falling asleep and ruin your perfect image for each other)
