Mushroom Oasis March (Day 7 : Sleeping)

Ever since I played mushroom oasis, I've been coming back to the meadow scene for comfort again and again, and this event gave me the motivation to finally make an ambience/ sleeping aid!

Hope you all like it!!!

I made two versions!!

If anyone wants the version without the vocals it's below the cut!!

How would Nezha react to being offered help from a Naga!Reader to sleep?

It would probably take a long time to feel comfortable being helped...But he may figure that it may help him be a better guardian...So, he sits on one or your coils...And let your spirals do the magic...Hands on his knees. At first, his eyes simply widens in surprise at the spirals...But then they mimic the dancing lights patterns...But it is only when you begin to hum that his eyelids begins to feel heavier...You smile cheekily...And to gently taunt him, you sing the song "Stay Awake" (Mary Poppins)...Soon...his head begins to lower but he snaps it upright again, only for it to wobble anew...You smiled, finding it adorable...Not wanting to spook him awake, you keep gently singing almost in a whisper...tilting your head as Nezha begins to topple to the left...You wrap your tail lightly around his chest, reassuring him: "Let me help you lie down." "(Slight yawn) Ok...", he breaths out. You keep humming as he now lies atop your coils limply.

"This feels nice...(Yawns) Should have...Done it...sooner."

"Happy to know that...(lies down, facing him) I can make it more relaxing...If you want."

"H...How?", he yawns, again.

"By wrapping you...Like a blanket."

He shivers. But he smiles at he beholds your spirals... "...Go on.", he says.

You resume humming and singing...Maneuvring your coils so that he is wrapped loosely from mid-chest to knees. He humms and curls up a little, delighted by the heat, the warmer the coils becomes.

You scoot closer, as the lotus prince's eyes are bobbing up and down..lazily opening and closing...

"Sleep...Lotus Prince.", you almost hold his hand.

He closes his eyes at last and sighs...You take it and give it a peck. You could swear you saw him blush as he huddles more into the warmth...A lovely sight to behold.

Inspired by this piece:

UPDATE (02/04/2024): I could also imagine Reader singing these lovely chinese lullabies to Nezha, as well.

UPDATE (02/14/2024): Here is a sort of sequel to the above fanfiction I wrote:

Gender Differences in the Response to Codeine Phosphate as a Sleeping Aid

Codeine p., commonly used as an analgesic, has also been noted for its sedative properties, making it an ingredient in some over-the-counter sleeping tablets. This review investigates potential gender differences in how individuals respond to codeine phosphate when used as a sleep aid. Understanding these differences is essential for tailoring sleep medications to specific gender-based considerations and optimizing the efficacy and safety of such treatments.

1. Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism:

Gender-Specific Metabolic Variations: Examine existing literature on the pharmacokinetics of codeine phosphate, focusing on potential gender-specific differences in metabolism. Evaluate how variations in enzyme activity may influence the rate of codeine conversion to its active form, morphine, affecting sleep outcomes.

2. Efficacy in Sleep Induction:

Comparative Sleep Studies: Analyze clinical studies comparing the efficacy of codeine phosphate as a sleep inducer between men and women. Investigate factors such as sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and sleep quality to identify any gender-related variations in response.

3. Safety Profile:

Adverse Effects and Tolerance: Assess the safety profile of codeine phosphate in relation to sleep, considering potential gender-specific differences in adverse effects and the development of tolerance. Explore whether men and women exhibit distinct responses to long-term use.

4. Hormonal Influences:

Impact of Hormonal Fluctuations: Explore the influence of hormonal variations, such as menstrual cycles and menopause in women, on the response to codeine phosphate. Investigate whether these hormonal factors contribute to differences in sleep outcomes.

5. Psychosocial Factors:

Psychological and Social Variables: Investigate psychosocial factors that may contribute to gender differences in the response to codeine phosphate, including stress levels, mental health, and socio-cultural influences. Analyze how these variables may interact with pharmacological effects.

6. Individual Variances:

Genetic and Individual Variability: Delve into genetic factors that could contribute to individual variability in response to codeine phosphate, with a focus on any gender-specific genetic markers that may impact drug metabolism or sensitivity.

7. Clinical Implications and Recommendations:

Tailoring Treatment Approaches: Provide recommendations for clinicians based on the findings, emphasizing the importance of tailoring sleep medications containing codeine phosphate to the individual's gender and considering factors such as metabolism, hormonal fluctuations, and psychosocial influences.

Conclusion:

This review aims to shed light on the potential gender differences in the response to codeine phosphate when used as a sleeping aid. By understanding the nuances of how men and women may react differently to this medication, clinicians can make more informed decisions, optimizing treatment outcomes while minimizing potential risks and side effects. Further research in this area is crucial for advancing personalized medicine approaches in sleep pharmacotherapy.

BREAKING CHARACTER REAL QUICK FOR A SLEEP SUPPLEMENT PSA FOR MY FELLOW VAMPIRES AND NIGHT OWLS:

so I've had chronic insomnia since early childhood and the only thing that helps me fall asleep without the "oh, I've been drugged" feeling is melatonin

and never once have I seen any instructions on the bottle anything beyond "take at or before bedtime"

EXCEPT

my doctor tells me last week that you're not supposed to do this otherwise it really fucks with your circadian rhythms! apparently the optimal time to take melatonin is around sunset (if you want to be asleep by 10pm-12am) because darkness is what naturally stimulates the brain to secrete melatonin

taking it too late (i.e., past 9pm if you intend to sleep around 11pm and wake up at 7am) can majorly screw up your circadian rhythm and keep you feeling groggy and sleepy af well into the day!!! which explains a lot for me personally — not the whole picture but certainly some of it! 

so what I've been doing is I take my regular dose as soon as I notice it's dark outside (around 7:45pm these days) and I start getting sleepy around 10pm-11pm depending on the day I've had. I'm fucking full on passing out by midnight, like phone falling on my face, gotta sleep now. and my sleep isn't perfect but it's a lot better than it was! I get a solid unbroken 6-7 hours stretch which is huge for me and I don't feel like death warmed over needing both vyvanse and caffeine to even think about functioning!

anyway if you already knew this then GOOD FOR YOU BUDDY WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME AT ANY POINT IN THE PAST 15 YEARS and if not, I hope you try it out and it helps even a bit! 🖤

Insomnia is one of the most common sleeping disorders many individuals face that can increase the risk of chronic stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also increase the risk of high blood pressure and other chronic conditions. Our services use natural medicine in Columbus, Ohio, like medical marijuana, to treat insomnia.

in the last month: my grandma passed away, our family dog passed away, my hydradenditis has flared up under my arms and my chest, and the icing on the cake is my sister is in jail and i’ve been tasked with taking care of my niece until she gets out. i have no clue when that will be, her next court date is the 17th. and this is all on top of the hell i’ve been going through the last year

Don’t know how much real world stuff people choose to include in their own fics but the fact that you can buy single-use medical grade staplers at the tractor supply store is very much going in the “haunted Midwestern teens rawdog EMT training on a nightly basis” file cabinet
