Sleep headcanon questions go!! Any of yours, AU or OC, not restricted to skeletons (but I'll admit the lanky bone boy is my first thought.)

Who does the 'lays down and falls asleep quickly'? Who takes half an eternity to get comfy, but once they are, they sleep easily? Who can only sleep if one specific thing is where it should be (eg a favorite stuffy or blanket, the light in the hall being on)? Who fights the insomnia by counting things, even as they reach the thousands or tens of thousands? Who needs absolute silence? Who can't sleep without noise, music or white noise? Who moves so much in their sleep that it should count for gymnastics? Who takes up the most space for their size? Who takes up the least space for their size? Who has a pre-bed ritual (warm tea or milk, a bath or some other) that gets them in the right headspace for bed? Who uses the bed as just another spot to sit, doing things like scrolling on their phone, or maybe hobbies like knitting/crochet? Who pretended to be asleep as a kid when they were checked on? Who reads in bed?

I'll try not to answer for too many for now, but if you don't mind I might keep the questions to answer for some others, too, sometime!

Who does the 'lays down and falls asleep quickly?

With the skeletons boys, usually the lower HP lot, so non-swapped Sanses and Swapped Papyri, though the Papyri usually have to be pretty exhausted. Unfortunately they also tend to just lie awake sometimes, no matter how tired they feel, but sometimes! Sleep comes quickly

Who takes half an eternity to get comfy, but once they are, they sleep easily?

Usually Rus, and a handful of other non-swapped Papyri, but usually only the non-Fell ones also. Also does not mean he stays asleep for very long. And definitely most Alphyses, regardless of what verse (she also tends to stir and shift a lot, with the exception of swapfell Alphys who sleeps like lead lol).

Who can only sleep if one specific thing is where it should be (eg a favorite stuffy or blanket, the light in the hall being on)?

Hmmm I'm gunna be a little difficult with this one. It's not so much One Specific Thing as like...vibe. And it's oddly something shared between non-swapped Fell Papyri and non-Fell swapped Papyri. If they're accustomed to a specific light being on, or sleeping on a specific pillow, or hearing a specific noise, any change in that environment can cause significant restlessness. Or in Edge's specific case it's his cat <3 He needs to know they're in his room (underground) before he can actually sleep.

Who fights the insomnia by counting things, even as they reach the thousands or tens of thousands?

I'd say any non-Fell swap Papyrus probably. The first one to jump to mind was Stretch, he’s a counter in general, of steps, hand movements when washing his hands, rotations while stirring a pot, etc etc, I'd imagine it's something mostly shared with his most similar alternates like Uno and Clover.

Who needs absolute silence?

Sooort of Haze? Haze and Patch both but it's tricky, they're both paranoid, but sleeping in quiet environments is like, the only way to get actually good sleep. But it can also trigger significant anxiety. So it's tough finding the right balance. :*(

Who can't sleep without noise, music or white noise?

Probably mostly the Papyri with the deepest psychological issues. I know that's a weird qualifier, but the way I hc any Papyrus is that they have chronic overthinker condition, which is exponentially more stressful for those that have the most repressed stuff just lingering around the corners in the hallways of their minds.

Ghost and Dusk, maybe Lace? I'd imagine total silence would be deeply unsettling for them, and really any Papyrus if they were just in a particularly stressed way.

Who moves so much in their sleep that it should count for gymnastics?

Almost exclusively the Swapped Fell Sanses. And that's mostly because they're extremely light sleepers, so they're constantly shifting and seeking new comfortable positions to snatch another little chunk of sleep before they do it again.

On the rare occasion non-Fell or Swapped Papyri can be restless, but that's pretty rare, because that usually winds up waking them and then they just get up!

Who takes up the most space for their size?

Stretch. Oh my god. He’s so scrawny but he manages to take up the entirety of whatever he’s fallen asleep on. It's frankly kind of impressive.

Who takes up the least space for their size?

Dusk I guess? For how massive he is, he tends to kinda curl up a bit, and given how thin he is, it's probably surprising how little space an almost 12ft tall skeleton can cover.

Who has a pre-bed ritual (warm tea or milk, a bath or some other) that gets them in the right headspace for bed?

Just about every Papyrus and most of the swapped Sanses! Most of the Papyri are lowkey kinda five year olds about going to bed on purpose, they put it off as much as possible (or just fall asleep whenever wherever in the Swapped Papyri's cases). But! If they know they really kinda need to, or someone else manages to strongarm them into it, it helps to do Unwinding Things, be it making tea, reading, playing video games; it helps, which is important for a group of insomniacs that bad.

The swap Sanses just generally like routine overall, so they usually have rituals for stuff they need to do daily anyways!

Who uses the bed as just another spot to sit, doing things like scrolling on their phone, or maybe hobbies like knitting/crochet?

Absolutely all of them barring Haze, Gold, and Cerulean. They are loungers, the lot of them.

Who pretended to be asleep as a kid when they were checked on?

Mostly the Sanses. The vast majority of their Caretakers weren't very strict with actually Sleeping, so the Papyri either never really had to pretend, so they didn't, or they were already out cold. The Sanses though, they've always had the most anxiety around Being Perceived, even the ones with good relationships with their caretaker. Weird, huh?

Who reads in bed?

I'd say probably a pretty random assortment of guys from all across the board! There's also a few, like Copper or Anthias, who wouldn't consider what they do reading because they're reading articles about like, science or news on their phones, but they still are reading.

The most consistent readers though are probably Edge, Sky, Eclipse, and Dusk, with Eclipse and Dusk actually kinda going together here because Clips will regularly read to Dusk since he has wonky eyesight that makes reading himself difficult at times.

11. I won’t use this eleven question as an actual question, use your right to answer to this to talk about whatever the fuck you want. Rant, fangirl, talk about what you did today or yesterday or whatever. Just talk.

I just want to cry to someone but I don't have the heart to tell anyone, I don't know why but I get stressed so easily and that one time our nurse had a seminar and asked if anyone is depressed, I just want to raise my hand but I'm too scared someone will judge me and think of me as a weak person, like now, and she started this speech about how to beat depression and I just can't understand how is that going to work because it doesn't work on me. I'm getting tired of constantly getting sad for no reason and it's bothering my classmates and I hate bothering them I feel like I'm annoying so I kept these thoughts to myself. It's hard trying to avoid spacing out and being so quiet all of the sudden, I'm getting mad at myself for being pathetic and I did the "do" once because I was so desperate to feel something other than sadness and I couldn't even tell anyone and right now I feel like this rant I'm doing is bothering everyone I hate being like this :'(

I'm doooonneee hehehehe that took me like a long time and I should really sleep now :') I will reblog this with my 11 questions and tags because tumblr has limits ugh
