Rengoku: Sleeps straight as a log. Like those "let's go to sleep" *cut to sleeping person* scenes, but he actually does that irl. Wakes up the same way, ready to scream "Good Morning" at anyone, recieving pillows in his face.
Mitsuri: You'd have a difficult time finding her under that army of plushies. Her bed is like the inside of a clawmashine, with multiple human sized teddy bears (from Obanai). Tho her favourite is obviously her bodypillow. And if that has a picture of Iguro on it, that’s pure coincidence.
Tengen: One word. STARFISH! Takes up as much space as he can and let me tell you HE CAN because he refuses to sleep on anything but king sized beds. He’s a very light sleeper though and wakes up to the smallest unusual sound. Just a warning: He sleeps naked!
Sanemi: In the most TWISTED WAY you can imagine. Neck crancked 45 degrees to the left, arms and legs bent at every joint, NEVER on his back. Prefers hard futons, immensely dislikes soft mattresses. Wakes up sore anyway, but won’t do anything about it.
Shinobu: Had difficulty falling asleep after the thing with Kanae, and took up the nasty habit of watching TV in bed. Now she can’t sleep unless there’s a history or murder documentary playing in the background. The lights don’t bother her OH BUT IT BOTHERS EVERYONE ELSE!
Giyuu: Insomniac at night, hypersomniac at daylight. Spends most nights on the couch rather than his own bed. At one point he decided to make use of this time, so took up crocheting, cooking, juggling anything basically, and the others wonder when he had time to learn all that shit. But during the day if you don't talk to him for 30 minutes he will doze off.
Obanai: Honestly? He spends most of the night lying motionless with Kaburamaru on his chest. But if he manages to fall asleep, and you wake him up. GOD you better pray for your life!
Gyomei: If you don't get ahead of him, you won't get A BLINK of sleep. He sound like a CHAINSAW and it’s concerning. You think of nudging him? Good chance! Not gonna work. Yes others take advantage of that. Yes they did the whipped cream prank on him, and they had to wait until morning because Gyomei refused to budge. Did I mention he sleeps with his eyes open?
Muichiro: He’s narcolepsyc. The first few times it scared the hell out of everyone. Nowadays they just carry around emergency airbags.
• so when y’all cuddle it has to be with 50+ blankets and social distancing..
• i feel like after a while he would get uncomfortable with physical touch and would have to turn away before he crashes out ( after a while of cuddling )
• hes a hella light sleeper..even small noises wake him up. hes just so used to being alert and awake it cant get out of his subconscious.
• he has a really long haircare routine before going to bed-
• like he braids his hair, oils it, satin pillow cases, all that jazz.
• he definitely wakes up super early..waking you up alot of times in the process..
“giyu? are what are you doing?” you muttered, rubbing your eyes and sitting up. he was already in uniform, securing his katana to his belt before softly smiling at you.
“just..getting ready.”
• he doesnt snore. at all. you’d think he was dead with how quiet he sleeps.
• i dont think he would be able to sleep well without you. he’d probably tend to get nightmares, or just be uncomfortable without your presence <3
• he always waits for you to be in bed before he sleeps, just waiting quietly like the gentleman he is !!
• i like to believe he’s alot more at ease at night, ( when he’s not on a mission, of course. ) and you can tell. hes calmer, talking more, all that. maybe its because he doesnt have to worry about sanemi bullying him😭😭
• when he cant sleep he stares at you. like you catch him staring. it freaks you out a bit.
Is this weirdly specific? Might be idk. But personal headcanons of how I think the male tanks (Hammond and Winston included) sleep!! And night time routines in general.
Akande is a man with standards. He knows exactly how much sleep his body needs and insist adequate rest is one of the most important things in one's life.
He likes to work out just before bed. Nothing too extreme, but if he feels he hasn't worked his body enough, he'll go for a jog or lift some weights before a nice, warm shower.
Despite the fact that he's a high profile mastermind and criminal, Akande's sleepwear is a simple tanktop and shorts. It's comfortable, never too hot and incase he does get cold, he can simply grab a blanket.
More often than not a side sleeper. Left side specifically. Barely moves in his sleep, though might wake up on his back from time to time.
He takes the doomfist gauntlet itself off and switches to a much lighter prosthetic for the night. Easier to handle and more comfortable.
Eyemask user. Owns two of them just incase one might need a wash. He needs complete darkness and white noise to sleep.
Not too deep, but not too light of a sleeper either. He'll wake up to his alarm, but never to much else.

Due to the mutation of his prosthetics, Findlay has no real choice other than to be a stomach sleeper. Though even before his incident, he preferred sleeping on his stomach.
Unless one of the other Phreaks does it for him, his bed is unmade, though clean. He doesn't see the point in constantly making the bed if he's going to sleep in it later anyway.
Light sleeper. Struggles with sleeping on some days, though never too often. His family makes him feel safe, but with what he's been through, sometimes he just can't seem to fall asleep.
Despite being a light sleeper, he very much snores. Loud. Can wake up a small child type of loud. The Phreaks dont like to let him sleep on the couch because his snoring might wake them up.
Lets Maisie sleep in the bed with him. Insists she and any other dog ever should be allowed to sleep in the bed.
No real bedtime routine. He sleeps when he feels like it and doesn't really feel the need to do anything specifically to help him sleep better.
Sleeps in simple boxers. White or black.
Absolute cuddle bug. Will lay on top of Susie and refuse to let her get up until he's had enough sleep.

Not a care in the world about where, when and who he's with, if he gets comfortable, he gets knocked out.
Reeeally deep sleeper. Like a bomb could go off next to him and he wouldn't wake up.
Typical man nighttime routine. Shower + shave + aftershave. Sleep.
Aaall over the place in that hammock bed of his. On his back, one hand behind his head, other arm hanging off, one leg up, other off the hammock. Just laying however.
Needs noise and a little light to sleep. No real reason, he just can't seem to fall asleep in total darkness and silence.
Heart boxers. Heart or any sort of tropical pattern. No shirt, nothing, just boxers.

Do omnics sleep? No idea! But for the sake of my mind, they have to charge and "sleep" when doing so.
Light sleeper. The slighest noise is enough to wake him.
Usually back sleeper, but can (and does) sleep sitting up.
Emits a light whirring noise while sleeping.
Sleeps in what he wears during the day, no seperate sleepwear.

Heeaavvyy sleeper. Heavy. Snores very loudly too. You cannot sleep in the same room as this guy.
Despite being a heavy sleeper, he does occasionally wake up at night, sometimes being unable to fall back asleep. Less often now, but he never quite got over what happened in Eichenwalde.
Very long, warm shower before bed with a trim to his beard. He doesn't trim it shorter, simply wants it to look neat and clean while growing it.
White boxers with red hearts and a white tank top. Basic man, basic sleepwear.
Stomach or back sleeper. Either way he ends up with his head off his pillow, an arm off the bed and his blanket across the room.

Back and side sleeper. Surprisingly still when he sleeps, basically doesn't move.
Look at him and tell me he doesn't snore. Insaanee snorer. He'll wake up an entire apartment complex with his snoring.
Only sometimes takes the mask off to bed. He needs complete and total darkness to sleep, and keeping it on helps him achieve it sometimes.
Hheeavy sleeper. A brick to the head couldnt wake him up.
Sleeps with a Pachimari. Will be devastated if he wakes up with to it fallen off the bed.

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Light sleeper, can barely sleep a lot of the time. The melody keeps him awake.
When he can sleep, he sleeps on his back whilst levitating.
Prepares to go to bed every night with a quick shower, usually cold. Hums that maddening melody to himself during it.
Needs complete darkness, since he can't get complete silence, and thus uses an eyemask when sleeping.
Traditional two-piece pajama set. Blue with white stripes.

I'm sorry why is this like his ONLY namecard?? Off point but I swear I couldn't find a different one.
Sleeps in a hammock. One that's kind of small for him, but he is a genetically modified gorilla, so.
Hangs off said hammock with every limb except his head.
Surprisingly in-depth nighttime routine. Shower, hair(fur?) care, along with skincare that Lena taught him. Full on step-by-step every night.
Likes to read before bed. What he reads varies quite a bit, but he'll always reas atleast 4-5 pages of a book before falling asleep.
Needs white noise to sleep, basically anything works. He can't sleep in complete silence.

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Sleeps in a cat bed. A very fancy one at that. Cat bed with full pillows and a blanket all to himself
A looot of treats hidden under his pillow. He loves a nightly snack.
No real bedtime routine other than taking his suit off. He's a simple hamster.
The Wrecking Ball itself is used as a bed sometimes. If he doesn't feel like getting out at the end of the day, he'll sleep in there.
Would you mind writing N to your ever growing list of characters you're writing for? That's like my fave ever
Also, sleeping habits/cuddling HCS about any character you want?
N x Reader | Sleeping Habits
N isn't someone who trusts easily, especially if you have pokémon. His abuse and neglect had conditioned him to believe that all pokémon trainers abused their 'mons, and you owned a few 'mons.
At first, N would sleep in a different room, maybe on the couch, maybe in a different bedroom if that's an option. He'll have a zorua with him to alert him if anything happens.
It takes him a while, but he'll slowly move in and sleep with you.
A lot of nights he'd watch over you and enjoy the silence with your 'mons as they talk to him about you. All nice things of course.
And in the end, he'll fall asleep in the same bed.
The whole process probably takes around a month, and even then, he still has rather firm boundaries when it comes to trusting you with his unconscious body.
No matter how long you've dated- he'd rather not be touched in his sleep, and it takes him a bit before he'll happily let you do so.
Unless you're married. Then you can snuggle up next to him without an issue. He trusts you completely.
When N gets used to sleeping by you, he'll be like a Litten. He'll spoon you from behind with his face in the back of your neck (he'll make sure that his back faces the main entry/exit point that he deems to be a threat).
He usually refuses any other positions as he does it to keep you safe incase anyone -more specifically, Team Plasma- broke in to try and steal the one good thing in his life.
How do you feel about writing some headcanons about actually sleeping next to Jake? Like sleep sleep next to him. Who hogs the blankets? Is he very specific in his bed time routine/rituals? Does he stick to his side or is he not so fussed he just falls asleep wherever on the bed? Does he fall asleep quick? How is he with nightmares - both his and yours? Later on, would he install a bedside crib? Would the kids run into your bed when they have nightmares or would Jake go to their room to comfort them? These types of things. (Sorry, I realise I dumped so many questions, please, do NOT feel like you have to answer them specifically, just write what feels right for this scenario, if it feels okay to write for at all, and write what you are comfortable with!!!!)
The thought of this entire scenario is so so so cute, and I’m SO GLAD you sent this in as a request!! I’m sorry it took me so long to get to, but I hope you enjoy it! 🫶🏻
________________________________________________
• Jake is a blanket hog.
• Always has been.
• It’s not uncommon for you to wake up in the middle of the night completely uncovered, with Jake wrapped up into a cozy, sleeping burrito on the other side of the bed.
• He also snores.
• Not loudly, and not often. It’s usually just when he’s particularly stressed. But the sound is so soft and dainty—you recorded it one time just to tease him about it.
• Jake is very much an “asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow” type of person.
• You blame the military training. (And secretly curse it on the nights you lay awake, staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep.)
• That said, he’s also a light sleeper.
• He’s always first to hear if the dog needs out. After you become parents, it’s always him that alerts you if a kid is awake or if the baby’s started fussing.
• He’s definitely not opposed to the kids crawling into bed with you in the middle of the night.
• The only time he’s actually difficult to wake is when he’s having a nightmare.
• Trapped in his own mind, it always takes a good deal of shaking and calling his name before he comes back to you.
• And when he does, he’s visibly shaken, usually sweating. His eyes always scurry across the room before meeting yours, and then he buries his head in your hair, your neck, your chest…anything. Any part of you to ground himself.
• But he wakes much quicker when it’s your own nightmares.
• Frankly, you can’t remember the last time a nightmare had the chance to fully play out. Jake’s always there immediately, at the first sign of fear or danger. Pulling you into reality, grasping you tight against his chest, whispering in your ear, a hand rubbing a soothing trail down your back or through your hair.
• And if you’re not calming, he’s on it. Up, making you a warm cup of tea or steamed milk. He knows the extra sensation grounds you almost as much as your presence grounds him after a nightmare.
• BONUS!!
• Jake’s also the kind of person that always sleeps with a window open.
• The fresh air calms him, cools him as he slips into boxers or loose pajama bottoms.
• This is also part of the reason he’s a blanket hog—there has been many a night where you scowl and close the window in the middle of the night after the temperatures drop and your blankets have been robbed.
I saw a post that talked about how Leviathan would like MC to run their hands through his hair and that it would calm him down as well! And that was just the cutest idea to me that I created an entire sketch collage of all the brothers and their favorite nap or sleep positions with MC. The MC featured is a simplified version of my MC character.
ft. gn!MC, pictured oc!MC, can be read as either platonic or romantic ( I am also not a writer, so if there is any speelling error or even bad writing I am sorry but this is also just for fun so I hope you enjoy 🫶)
~~~~~~~~~~~
My reasoning for each position (left to right) + (top to bottom):
Leviathan // The headcanon mentioned above ofc. I also headcanon that out of all the brothers, that Leviathan slips into his demon form more than any of the brothers. Which is why he is also the only brother I pictured in that form as well! I imagine that Leviathan likes to curl into MC since they are so warm (i think he is cold blooded bc fish). He also likes to hear and feel their heartbeat by laying on their chest. It's also a bonus because MC will typically scratch his head when he lays there too. He thinks they don't know he loves it, but they do.
Satan // Most of the time that MC and Satan nap together its after they study or when they read together (which is typically one in the same). The easiest way for both of them to see the page is they are leaned together so that whoever is holding the book can comfortably position it between them. Totally not because its an excuse to cuddle even though they could put the book on a table between them just as easily.
Mammon // He would undoubtly want to be as close to MC as possible. But as their first man, he also needs to protect them so he has to wrap his arms around them. Obviously. But MC will also reach for him just the same and they end up holding hands while they cuddle until they fall asleep.
Lucifer // Whenever MC manages to get Lucifer to tap a nap with them, he will also position himself to wrap around MC. He also loves having MC leaning into his chest. It feels him with pride that they are so comfortable with him.
Asmo // When Asmo needs to preserve his makeup (a pre-party nap) or his overnight mask, they fall asleep while holding hands. He enjoys having yet another opportunity to look at MC's pretty face. If he does not have to keep his face from rubbing into MC, one of them will spoon the other depending on eithers moods.
Belphegor // Whenever he naps with anyone, but especially MC, he will become as entangled as possible with them. Which does make it extremely difficult to get up for ANY reason, but no matter what position the two find themselves in they will be very comfortable even if they realistically should not. But Belphie also prefers to curl into MC. His favorite position is being able to hide his face into MC's neck (especially if your ticklish or sensitive, bc he is a nuisance above all else [lovingly]).
Beelzebub // Another protective sleeper. With his size, it is very easy for him to wrap around any MC's form. He likes facing MC as well, being able to see their sleeping face is the highlight of any nap he takes with them. Plus his arms and chest make really good pillows dont they MC?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you have any headcanons for the brothers cuddling positions? I would love to hear them 🫶
Every time I long reset in the game, I think about this and I've come up with some pretty good headcanons for them all, I think
Astarion
The man is dead, darling.
He is totally silent, still, doesn't even breathe while he's sleeping.
Is he even sleeping...?
Astarion sleeps stiff as a board, his arms flat at his side and his ankles touching one another.
He dead ass looks like a corpse on display.
It scared Karlach so bad during her first night at camp that she all but picked Astarion up and shook him violently, screaming his name in his face as she cried about him 'not breathing' and 'dead, dead, he's bloody dead'!!!
Astarion was not pleased the first night Karlach was in camp and was less impressed the massive tiefling had him a foot off the ground, laughing with relief that 'he's not dead after all, just playing at it'!
He was not playing but he won't say he enjoys the attention at least a little bit as well
Gale
The type to sleep with an eye mask.
Has a routine that he follows, to ensure that he gets all his rest.
Uses pleasant perfumes and oils on his pillows and blankets. (Much to Astarion and Lae'zel's chagrin)
Has a nice, soft robe he sleeps in, along with slippers.
Starts sleeping on his back but always flips onto his stomach and wakes up like that.
Shadowheart
Hands down the most 'normal' sleeper of the entire camp.
No overtly loud snoring, no sleepwalking, no sleep talking, nothing.
She does sleep with a dagger under her pillow and her hand curled around the grip, but has yet to 'accidentally' stab anyone that wakes her up as of yet.
Sleeps either on her side or her back.
Lae'zel
Sleeps in an extremely tight fetal position.
Likes she's reverting back to egg.
Her knees are to her chin, which looks uncomfortable, but she sleeps soundly so... Good for her?
Also sleeps with a dagger under her pillow, like Shadowheart. Only Lae'zel will actually just hold it out in the open, like a threat full of promises.
Karlach and Wyll would throw a blanket over her, thinking she's curled up from being chilled, only to have her throw it off rather violently, totally in her sleep, of course.
As silent as a mouse, but will hiss, snarl and growl occasionally, especially if sounds are present while she's asleep.
Wyll
Sleeps flat on his back like a weirdo.
Usually crosses his arms over his chest too.
Sleeping with horns after he's turned into a devil was an... interesting learning curve. (Read: totally fucking annoying)
Switching from sleeping onto his back to his stomach was extremely uncomfortable.
Ends up sleeping sitting upright for a while, as he simply cannot get comfortable to save his life.
Brings a box over to his bed role so he can lean against it while resting.
Karlach
She's everywhere.
No, she doesn't sleepwalk thank Gods but she moves so much that she damn near does.
Karlach acts out her dreams and talks in her sleep, but stops just shy of speaking complete sentences and walking about punching random trees (or people-).
Clive, her trusty bear, has been at her side for as long she could remember, and it remains true even now.
Belly, side, back, side, belly-
The blanket has caught on fire not because of her unnatural heat, but because she has yeeted it into the fire in her sleep.
Halsin
99.99% of the time, he is in his bear form, the rest he's in his 'natural', elven state.
SNORES
Growls and grumbles both as a bear and as an elf.
Otherwise, he's pretty 'normal'.
Snuggle bug supreme
Jaheira
Another 'normie' when it comes to sleeping.
She's an extremely light sleeper, mostly out of necessity.
Hears movement, cracks an eye open, assesses possible threats then goes back to sleep.
Usually sits up/leans against something when resting, which is the strangest thing that she does.
Is it actually comfortable? Who knows! Jaheria won't tell and just says to 'leave an old woman alone'.
Minsc
Good Gods, it's like this man and Halsin are trying to out snore one another at night.
And it's like he and Karlach are trying to have a conversation with one another while sleeping as well...
At least he's not a sleepwalker.
Minsc will grab any poor passerby and wrestle them into a bear hug while sleeping, so everyone has learned to stay clear of him after Astarion was the poor bastard to learn this first hand.
Yes, he was trying to snoop through Minsc's things so he pretty much had this coming.
Boo is always on his person as well, of course, and somehow manages to remain safe from any accidental crushings.
Minthara
Another that's as still as a statue while she sleeps.
Somehow, she looks just as serious asleep as she does when she's awake...
It's sort of cute
Another incredibly light sleeper, and yet another that sleeps with a dagger under her pillow.
What's the strangest about her is that she sleeps little at all, almost always awake when other's get up in the middle of the night to take a leak or fool around.
The last to fall asleep and the first one to wake up, even beating Lae'zel to the early worm.
Stan - he sleeps on his side, he rolls over a bit in his sleep and shit, doesn't really snore
Cartman - the most annoying little shit. He definitely hogs the blanket and takes up as much space as possible during sleepovers, and he probably sleeps on his back, snores a lot. Also sleeps with all his stuffed animals surrounding him
Kyle - sleeps on his back, snores a little bit, he moves around a lot in his sleep, like he'll be on his back with the blanket all on his body in the night, then in the morning he's on his side with the blanket fully off of him (based off of me LMAO)
Kenny - this fucking shit sleeps on his stomach, with his head in the pillow, he dies in his sleep a lot
Butters - sleeps on his side, he always has to hug something, a pillow, a stuffed animal, or a fucking human. Lmao. He also drools a bit
Tweek - can't even sleep
Craig - sleeps on his side, he talks in his sleep sometimes. Oh he also is a fucking weirdo and sleeps with no blanket
Clyde - similar to Kyle, Sleeps on his back, snores, moves around a lot
Jimmy - sleeps on his back, probably hugs something, usually a stuffed animal, I imagine it being something reallllyy stupid like a fucking skibidi toilet plushie
Tolkien - sleeps on his side, the most normal out these guys. He's just very peaceful
