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:

You should make sure you are nice and wet before you take your sleeping aid so I can use you in your sleep while you’re drugged out and blissful.

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.

There is a scratch mark on the floor of the Council chambers that Mace has never noticed before. Not a deep one, mind, quite shallow. This matters because it’s making the white-hot pulse of agony stabbing through his eyeballs ebb momentarily. Then, he chances a glance upwards at the fidgeting Knight in front of them, and it returns in full force.

Huh, he’s never seen Oppo Rancisis’ face turn that colour before.

“Hmm”, Master Yoda hums, deep and scratchy. His expression is unreadable even to Mace beyond a baseline gremlinness, and the force with which he grips the edges of his seat is making his bones creak. Master of the Order you should become, they said. Follow the calling of the Force, you should. A fulfilling purpose, it will be. Mace is going to hunt the little goblin for sport when this is all over, and he’s going to laugh the whole time.

“Show us the livestream again, could you, Knight Parvo?” Yoda asks. Mace bursts a capillary, he’s pretty sure, and so does poor Knight Parvo, whose orange Mon Cala skin tips all the way into blood red with stress. “Most unusual, this is.”

“Absolutely not!”, Ki Adi intervenes before Mace has to, thank the Force for little mercies. Plo Koon’s tusks tremble slightly with either suppressed laughter or abject horror, maybe both, and Stass Allie has her head in her hands. “The holo stills should be enough”, Ki Adi proceeds to add, and Mace has to reconsider all feelings of grace he just felt towards his fellow Councillor.

He never wants to watch Yoda zoom in on someone’s abs again. Or Depa raise her eyebrows at the curve of thighs bent over the dripping front of a speeder.

“Speeder Wash For Our Troops”, his former padawan reads out loud from a still of what has to be hundreds of the things gathered in the public senate parking lot. “Fund Our Boys And Get A Wet Seeing-To!” The series of images features dozens of Coruscant Guard troopers in various stages of unkitted, gleaming and shining with soap suds and water. The fact that the whole thing is also massive shatterpoint after massive shatterpoint is, quite frankly, insulting.

“Well hello- oh dear”, Obi-Wan’s blue form crackles to life in his chair, followed by several sounds of choking that are definitely not him. Good, Mace thinks acidly. If he has to deal with this, then so does kriffing Skywalker. “I’m sorry, why am I looking at Commander Thorn using a washrag like a lasso on top of a speeder?”

“Oh, the Guard’s little fundraising project”, Bail Organa says, as he steps into the Council chambers. Normally, Mace likes the man well enough. Now, he just smiles and adds on, “I’ve already donated, in mine and Breha’s name. Remotely, of course.”

“The Guard’s fundraising speeder wash?”, Obi-Wan repeats, edges of his holo form flickering with what Mace suspects is Skywalker very unsubtly trying to edge in. Force, but the man really is horrible at any and all stealth, like kissing his secret wife in an open arena in front of his Master. “And they are fundraising for…?”

“GAR budget allocations have to come from somewhere”, Organa shrugs. “And with the tide of public opinion turning, they’ve been tending towards cuts. The Guard feels them more keenly than any other sector - they’ve been reduced from half to quarter rations, and medical supplies have not made more than a token appearance in the last draft. The Chancellor has cancelled three consecutive meetings on the matter, and thus it was agreed that a more hands-on approach was needed. Any surplus will go into the Army fund.”

“Surely it can’t be that dire”, Oppo protests, a slightly less concerning shade of purple now. Senator Organa shrugs again, jostling the smattering of cracks slowly building around his person in a way that makes Mace wince quietly. “It’s all publicly available data, Masters.”

It really can be that dire, as it turns out. And quarter rations is only scratching the surface of how dire, considering the Guard has apparently never had access to bacta in all their posting, and also includes requisitioning forms available to the Senate for reconditionings and decommissionings, two words Mace has only heard Ponds whispers amidst shuddering in the early days of the war before Shaak Ti went off and just about tore some throats out over it.

“Alright”, he concedes, rubbing at his temples. “Fair enough, we have failed to tackle a massive blind spot in the Guard’s well being. There is no Jedi assigned to Coruscant, and that’s an oversight on our behalf. But how in the everloving kriff did this get past the Chancellor and Commander Fox?!”

Who have both signed, black on white. Bail Organa smiles cryptically. “Well, if you scroll a bit past that one image, up to the industrial speeder in the back - Commander Fox is currently having credits stuffed into his codpiece in the back, I believe.”

“HE’S WHAT IN THE WHAT NOW”, Commander Cody screeches through the speaker of Obi-Wan’s holo image, and Mace has to summon every bit of Jedi-serenity he possesses in his body to keep from dropkicking a cackling Yoda through the chamber windows.
