Spy said that Sniper wakes up every day at 5 am. What are your headcanons about what time the mercs go to bed and wake up? Who has the most fucked-up sleep schedule, and who’s super strict about their sleep?
Hmm, I guess like lot of the obvious stereotypes with them aka
Soldier is the strictest about his sleep. He will go to sleep at nine and wake up at 4am pretty much every day (or close to something like that). He will also try to get the others to do the same all the time and complains how nobody else has good discipline!
Engie believes that a well rested mind is a sharp mind. He might accidentally have all nighters when tinkering away but in general, he tries to get his 7-8h of sleep. A morning person when alone, a slow morning enjoyer with a partner. Wakes up early.
Demoman sleeps a lot in general. He might not always sleep a full night but he will nap. Kind of a chaotic schedule but he gets the hours. Also, enjoys the nightime quiet and just chilling alone/with friends in the middle of the night. Not cranky in the mornings but super tired and not in the mood to socialize that much.
Scout barely slept as a teen, too much energy. Could survive on 5h of sleep for the longest of time. Now, while he is around 27, he's getting a bit more sleepy when the nighttime comes. Still stays up late but sleeps pretty well. The base is so quiet compared to back home where so many of his siblings still live under the same roof. Not a morning person but can get up easy if need be. Will complain tho.
Heavy loves sleeping. He treasures the moments when he can just stay still with his loved ones. He is also riddled with nightmares and anxieties about deadly suprises. He goes to bed early but might not fall asleep in hours. Might wake up multiple times a night or wake up super early frustrates, sleep deprived and angry. Does believe in "never go to sleep hungry" and will raid the fridge at 3am if need be.
Sniper sleeps well but doesn't need much sleep. He likes staying up a bit late, cleaning his guns and all that. Wakes up early to take a piss and then it depends if he stays up or goes back to sleep. Loves a slow morning. Rushing him in the morning will make him pissed off.
Spy is always working. He will use coffee, alcohol/cigs or anything he can to keep himself upright if the job demands it. When he gets a full nights sleep, it's bliss. Absolutely a morning person. Gets up at like 6am, makes coffee and start working within 20mins. Knows his sleep schedule is fucked beyond repair and lives with it.
Medic only sleeps when he is exhausted. He will work and experiment on anything until his body gives out. He is making coffee at 10pm while wide eyed and jittery. The day doesn't have enough hours for him. Heavy is the only one who can make him give up earlier. If he is taken to bed tho, most likely he will instantly fall asleep. The medigun toxins/vapors in his body are the only thing keeping him alive at this point
Nobody has seen Pyro sleep. Do they sleep? And if they do, what does a monster like them dream about? Nobody dares to find out...(love them to bits btw, they're our little monster)
Thank you for this ask! This was fun to think about. I also change headcanons to fit stories a lot but these are the uhh baseline? Idk
I'm ironically answering this at around 2am when I am supposed to be asleep....
