#whereas charlie is more jumpy when he's awake but outside of High Stress Times like the castellammarese war feels Safe in bed

Headcannons for Charlie's, Meyer's and Benny's sleeping positions (i.e. stomach, back, etc)?

y e s

surprising literally no one, i’m the most convinced about my headcanons for meyer: especially in his teens and 20s, he isn’t comfortable falling asleep unless he has something directly at his back. he CAN, if he’s especially sleep deprived, but when he’s not passing out over a notebook because he’s been awake for 36 hours straight, he’s a side sleeper and he usually curls up very tightly in his sleep with his back against a wall. when he and charlie sleep in the same bed, it’s either the wall or charlie’s chest. 

charlie is a bed hog, and if he’s in bed alone he sprawls out, usually on his back [which means he snores a bit, not like chainsaw snores but they’re there]. if he and meyer are in bed, they either end up with meyer’s head on charlie’s chest or spooning, and it’s even odds who’s the big/little spoon as long as meyer’s against the wall. he is a much deeper sleeper than meyer, who takes forever to fall asleep and spins up to full awareness VERY quickly once he’s awake, whereas charlie’s out right away and isn’t fully awake til like noon most days.

i have fewer solid headcanons about benny, but my guess is he’s a wild card—he has a lot of restless energy even in his sleep and probably shifts around a bunch, which makes him super annoying to sleep with. once they’re married esta probably slings her leg over his legs like “will you PLEASE STOP fucking fidgeting it’s 3am” on a regular basis. boy could use a weighted blanket tbh.
