Shadowbugs: The Wake-Up Call

Befriending a Shadowbug often means you won't need an alarm clock...and you might have to try harder to sleep in.

Once a Shadowbug gets settled into your routine, they will wake up at whatever time you do.

However, on days in which you try to sleep in, your Shadowbug friend will still stick to the routine and wake up around the time you usually do. When they see you sleeping in, they might start trying to wake and get you out of bed so you can start the day.

They might try things such as pulling the blanket off, nibbling your fingers, gently mouthing your head, or giving your face little "mlems". If these don't work, the Shadowbug might opt to go back to sleep alongside you or find something to keep them occupied until you wake up.

Newly befriended Shadowbugs and Shadowbabies are a different story. Due to their circadian rhythms not being aligned with yours, newly befriended Shadowbugs and Shadowbabies have a tendency to try and wake you up in the middle of the night (around 12 AM, etc). So, you might wake up at this time because the lovable lug has started trying to get you out of bed...Which is adorable but can be aggravating.
