How different ocs sleep Caede tales edition because I wanna sleep so bad but i need to wake up and do things [Under cut as always because it got Long !]
/-> Maria
- Can sleep pretty much anywhere, but likes sleeping near somebody the most because it grants her a nice feeling of safety. Huge cuddler too, so if there is someone near she'll usually cling onto them like a baby sloth.
- Likes having tons of pillows in bed for comfort, but also just as a little luxury for herself. When Mary was growing up, she never got to have many pillows because she usually had to share it with like 50 other people, so now she'll have a ton of them as confirmation that now she can do whatever she wants and doesn't have to limit her joys like she did anymore. Also, it stops her from falling out of bed and keeps her head elevated so she doesn't snore ♡
- Tends to get cold pretty easily, so she'll usually have two or so blankets thrown over her body. I like to think it's those patterned grandma ones or maybe something she herself crocheted. Absolute hogger of the blankets.
- Sleeps pretty heavily, but will wake up if something is too close for comfort. Pandora tends to be noisy in general, but it doesn't hurt to pay attention to your surroundings if something sounds a little too close to your house. Can wake up on command though, so it's not a huge deal, she can always make a quick escape if she feels like a situation could be escalating in proximity to her home.
- Always sleeps in just a liiiittle bit longer than she has to as another luxury owed to herself. Used to have to get up earlier than the sun so she wasn't attacked by anything, so now she delights in having the possibilities of being able to give herself a nice long rest.
- Has a designated set of pajama clothes she wears every night to sleep. They're nice and pink and she got them as a gift from her husband, so she cherishes them deeply.
.
/-> Lucio
- Can only sleep in his own dedicated room. Otherwise he's rawdogging all-nighters. No he will not fall asleep there may be a Scary Creature outside and he has to protect everyone from it.
- Doesn't like pillows. Prefers his body completely straight. Yes he's that fucking guy. Only has one pillow and it's rock solid, it's more of like a really soft slab than an actual thing you should lay your head on.
- Literally always hot as hell so he doesn't need blankets either. He may freeze to death but you won't catch him comfy like some kind of PUSSY. Does like the ones Mary has though and will accept them if it means he gets to cuddle her.
- Barely able to sleep, and when he sleeps he can be woken up from a bug farting 5 miles away. Extremely light sleeper.
- Only ever sleeps the most minimal amount of time he needs to, and then gets up. Despises feeling relaxed because he sees it as a sign of weakness that all of his enemies will exploit the second they find out. And they will find out because there's a person out there who wants him dead at all times and who watches him. What do you mean this is a symptom of OCD. Stop patronizing me.
- Just sleeps naked. Can't be bothered. He's that guy.
.
/-> Jonah
- Sleeps in the basement to remedy his paranoia about people getting into his room to kill him, first and foremost. Basement is also just where he works most often, so whenever he gets insomnia (often) he'll just go and work on whatever project he has going on.
- When he does sleep however, he has like 8 different pillows. Two for his head, one for the stump, one for keeping between his legs, one for hugging and the rest are spread around the bed so whenever he rolls around he doesn't bonk his head and die [paranoia thing again].
- Blanket wise... he doesn't have much going on. It's just like the oldest rag you've ever seen thrown over him, mostly on his legs, and he sleeps with it like it's the coziest thing ever. In reality he only ever uses one because the part that gets the coldest is almost always his leg stump, even when it's properly covered and taken care of, because the bastard has poor circulation there and the ghost sensations don't make it any better. Would definetly benefit from a weighed blanket however. He loves feeling smushed into his own body <3
- The lightest heavy sleeper on the market. You could play several drums around him while he sleeps and it'll be chill for him, he'll probably just mumble in his sleep about it, but if you minimally touch him or any of his things he awakens with fury only previously known in brown bears defending their territory. Can pretty much fall asleep anywhere with the right setup, but will wake up way easier than if he's in his room.
- Wakes up earlier than the sun because nights are really long and "who's got time to wait that long?". But also because he physically can't sleep longer than like 5 hours without waking up groggy and grumpy. Takes plenty of naps throughout the day to make up for it
- Pajamas wise he'll just throw an old t-shirt on and shorts. Low effort king ♡
.
/-> Archer
- Sleeps in his room and ONLY in his room. If he doesn't have a designated place of sleep he will stay up making a safe-spot for himself and sleep with a knife in his hands. Not so much out if paranoia like Jonah but because Archer feels inadequate sleeping in places that aren't for him, not to mention it's really unsafe.
- He only has two pillows– One really thick one for his head, and one regular for holding in his sleep. If he doesn't have anything to hold onto when he's sleeping he tends to get anxious and have nightmares and whimper in the middle of the night, so the way he remedies it is by having something to keep him company like when he was a child. If he doesn't have a pillow he'll settle for just clinging onto whoever may be nearest or a blanket though.
- His blanket game is Insane. See, Pandora is a desert, which means the days are long and hot while the nights are unbearably cold, and since his circulation is really bad he would get cold as hell if he didn't cover up properly. This often meant he had like 4 different blankets. [from top to bottom: 1- Bed cover 2- Thick fluffy blanket with like a tiger patterned on it 3- Second slightly less thick blanket that still has some texture to help keeping warm 4- Simple little sheet inbetween thick blankets to make texture more tolerable]
- Moderately a heavy sleeper. He's used to not being able to sleep often, so when he does, he makes sure to absolutely conk out until he's needed again. However, with sufficient noise, he'll be back awake in no time. Used to having to wake back up first when something goes wrong, so it's nothing he's unfamiliar with.
- Always wakes up early to start the day on the right foot, even if it means having to force his way to the right foot. Used to do it because he had people to take care of who needed him, but now does it to feel productive.
- For Pjs, Archer always has matching sets. He prefers it because that way he always has clothes for sleeping separated, and that way he never has to go scavenging for it in his "closet". Always wears long sleeves and pants too.
.
/-> Salt
- Sleeps anywhere if there's company. Used to share a room with his siblings as a twee young girl, so nowadays he likes having at least someone in his room to help him fall asleep. Usually sleeps on people too because the contact is comforting, especially when it's warm.
- Pillow-wise, Salt will sleep with any number of pillows available so long as it's a number higher than 0. Finds ways to be comfortable that befuddle everyone around them, genuinely the most chill when it comes to sleep set-ups because he'll just roll himself into a pretzel anyway. It doesn't hurt his back somehow. He's just like built different.
- Blankets are never a need for Salt, just an added bonus. This girl can rawdog a full night of sleep just with like a tshirt and shorts on. Doesn't usually feel the temperature too badly, but if he does he'll just pop his jacket on and sleep with it. Blankets are appreciated for group sleeping though, because he knows the texture of the jacket isn't for everyone and he wants the most comfort for the group. Prefers those big fluffy heavy pillows above anything else if he has to pick though.
- REALLY heavy sleeper. You could blow up an entire mountain of dynamite directly outside his window and the most he'll react with is "mmgmgg. five more minutes......"
- Usually sleeps in until a little later in the day because he doesn't usually sleep very long, so when he gets the chance he'll relish it and stay asleep for as long as they can bring themselves to. Only wakes up when someone else comes do looking for him <3.
- Puts on a tanktop and sweatpants and calls it a day. Unless other people convinces him that an actual set of pjs would be more comfortable, Salt can collapse in anything he's already wearing and it'll still be enough for him.
.
/-> Radha
- Has trained herself to sleep anywhere and everywhere. Cold hard floor? Don't mind if she sleeps. Sitting down on chair? Asleep already, so comfy. Meditating? Zzzzzz. Knows no one is stupid enough to awaken a jaguar during their sleep, and fully takes advantage of it.
- Doesn't need much for pillows honestly. One pillow would be adequate, two is great, three is way too much. Sleeps straight and facing up like a wooden board. If it wasn't for the way her chest moves while she breathes, you would 100% assume she was dead or something. Only has one really specific need when it comes to comforts like this: let her keep her plushie in her arms while she sleeps and there'll be no trouble. Otherwise she is either going to leave or kill you.
- Also doesn't need a blanket. It's still appreciated, especially on colder nights, but it's a commodity, not a necessity. If she absolutely needs it though she'll usually just get a sheet and call it a day.
- Light sleeper to a fault. Even though she knows people won't try to mess with her, in Pandora you never know thr kinds of threats that might be lurking and getting ready to attack, so she's taught herself to wake up whenever she hears a noise that's not usual to her, or that might be getting too close. When she meets up with the other hireguns this eventually evolves into downright insomnia because these overgrown babies definetly have people who might be coming for them so it's her duty to keep them safe. Or, erm, because she wants to make sure their enemies don't come to HER. Obviously.
- Likes wearing her matched spotted pjs and nothing else. Don't you try to make her wear anything else. You WILL get hurt. This is hardly a joke.
.
/-> Melaine
- Melaine is complicated when it comes to sleep. She gets homesick very easily and often misses her home, so she needs to get really cozy first before she can even fathom sleep. And even then it's not a guarantee ze'll catch any sleep, because zir brain often works in weird complicated ways and it's not like ze can just *choose* to fall asleep. That would make too much sense. But yeah, once Melaine feels safe in a space, she can pretty much conk out whenever, but it takes a lot of warming up.
- Only needs 3 pillows: Two for her head and one for her arms so she can hug it. The alternative to this is just to keep it between zir legs, but the idea is to just stop zir moving around in zir sleep like a Beetle that can't get up from its back, and it makes zir sleep really bad too.. Enter:
- BIG HEAVY WEIGHED BLANKET. It keeps her from squirming in her sleep, having nightmares and in general just makes her feel cozy due to the weight pressing down on her. She likes to think of it as the feeling of a bug being under a really big leaf or perhaps a cute girl's book page after she turns it ♡ but um. Yeah. Aside from that she also likes having a warm little blanket underneath to compliment the weight.
- Zir quality of sleep is literally never consistent. Due to the frequent night terrors and essentially non-existent sleep schedule as a whole, Melaine either sleeps like a rock and doesn't wake up at all or ze sleeps really bad and has to take medication to stay awake. It entirely depends on how well ze's performing at work that day– if it was a good shift and everything turned out how it was meant to, she'll sleep like a baby, nice and relaxed and barely even dreaming at all, but if it was a chaotic session or if people die or if it goes too wild, she'll spend the whole night awake thinking why that was, why she didn't perform as well, etc etc. Sometimes noises wake her up, sometimes she'll sleep through world shattering events. Sometimes she doesn't need to take meds, sometimes its an everynight ritual. Real wild card when it comes to sleep.
- Melaine loves having cute pjs and that's most of her "casual" wardrobe. Has always prioritized comfort above everything since she was a young girl, so she always has the best combos for the night. Usually patterned with cute bugs and other such things, especially with little glitter sparkles. Especially likes big sweaters with little shorts as combos because it permits most thermodynamic possible sleep ♡
