How do you think Shinsou, Iida and Ochako try to help out an s/o with insomnia? (I'm not sure if this counts as a headcanon or scenario so feel free to take off a character as if you want aaa) thank you!
it’s pretty easy to see from just a glance that Shinsou doesn’t sleep too well either, so he definitely understands his s/o’s issue!! If nothing else, they’ll always have someone else awake to talk to when they can’t fall asleep
in all seriousness though, because of his own sleeping problems, Shinsou’s quite knowledgeable on how to help them! He’ll suggest all kinds of things he’s tried in the past, make them special teas, try certain pre-bed meditations— whatever it takes to help s/o out!
lots and lots of research! He’ll take out bunches of books from the library especially, delving into some pretty intense studying on the subject! He doesn’t really have much previous experience with it, so it will take him a little while of researching to fully grasp it, but rest assured he’d give nothing but his absolute best for his beloved!
MILD ANIME SPOILERS: if he’s with s/o soon after the sports festival/internship arc, he’ll actually be beginning to develop his own inability to sleep at night as well. So between the both of them, they’ll be working DOUBLE as hard as before to find ways to deal with their sleeping issues, namely so they can help each other!
just like Iida, she also really doesn't have much prior experience with this, so she will do quite a bit of research both in the library and online! On top of that though, she's also very eager to hear about it from her s/o! Obviously they'd know their insomnia best, and even if they didn't know how to cure it or anything, Uraraka's quite firm in her belief that they have a better grasp of how they personally work and deal with it than any internet article!
other than that, just expect lots of general attempts to make them sleepy from her! Lots of soft cuddles before bed, and sometimes she'll put on calming ambient noises or read a short story out loud before bed or things like that! And if all else fails, she's always willing to let her s/o wake her up to talk whenever they can't sleep and want company.
