Let’s TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE! I don’t want to go over anyone, though, so if I leave out anyone you would have liked to hear about let me know and I’ll write something up for them.
Arro has no problems sleeping but he doesn’t much have time to, he hates not being active or working toward something and the idea of passing out for hours not doing anything kind of bothers him. Because what he does on a day-to-day basis is generally pretty mentally and physically taxing he does sleep and he sleeps hard. He pretty much passes out as soon as he hits the pillow (even if he wasn’t drop-dead tired when he got there) and he’s a pretty heavy sleeper when he’s in an environment where he feels safe (which really embarrasses him) otherwise he wakes up at just about everything. So he doesn’t move much in his sleep and doesn’t make much noise, either.
He usually sleeps pretty well, but it depends on what’s going on in his life, too and where he is. He usually sleeps at home but he leaves the area to go on hunts in other places sometimes and winds up either staying with friends or in a hotel of some sort - but how safe he feels in an environment generally equates to whether Denre is around or not.
And, for the most part, Arro doesn’t dream - he usually wakes up as if he hadn’t slept at all but with that heavy feeling of sleep standing to proof that he has. When he does dream they’re usually pretty dark with a lot of obscure shapes with bright flashes of light.
Denre sleeps pretty ‘normally’ considering he’s a vampire and one of the BIG THINGS with them seems to be passing right out as soon as the sun comes up. “I’M SORRY BUT THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCES OF THE EARTH AND SUN JUST TUCKER ME RIGHT OUT *passes out*.” or they don’t sleep at all. (I have different types of vampires, though, and some of them do the GO TO BED WITH THE SUN thing). Anyway, he spends a lot of his time following Arro around or reading so, for the most part, he doesn’t do anything that tires him out the same way Arro does. He generally tries to sleep when Arro does, though, (which can be during the day or night or somewhere in between) so that they’re working on the same schedule.
He tends to sleep for three or four hours before he’ll wake up for a bit, which people go insane about and think they have some form of insomnia these days but back when Denre was a human this sort of sleep cycle was pretty normal - so he’ll get up and do things for a while (which is, usually, reading or sorting books, but if they’re somewhere unfamiliar he’ll just sit around and think) and eventually he’ll get back to bed again and sleep for another few hours.
He also doesn’t move much in his sleep, at most he’ll twitch and he’ll usually slowly curl into a ball overnight but nothing dramatic. He’s also a pretty light sleeper so while he sleeps well just about anything happening out of the norm will wake him right up.
His dreeeams tend to be an assortment of memories being twisted in various ways.
Hoffner doesn’t have sleeping problems, exactly, but he lives pretty much through ‘WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING, DO IT’ so he doesn’t do much of anything on a schedule (like he eats when he’s hungry, not when it’s ‘lunchtime’ kind of deal) he works deadlines but not schedules. As a result his sleeping patterns aren’t very consistent since he’ll go until he feels like sleeping and then he’ll go pass-out somewhere.
He also does a lot of traveling, so when he’s somewhere where he owns property he’ll stay at his place, when he’s in town Shei’s couch is his best friend (and sometimes he just kicks Shei out of her bed - or, rather, she’s working and Lindel tells him to sleep on the couch but her working keeps him awake so she says he can sleep in her bed and he gets all “Come join me when you’re done ;D” all teasingly (though he definitely wouldn’t mind sleeping with her) and she winds up sleeping on the couch instead) otherwise he stays in rentable places - or whatever car he’s using.
He snores slightly and likes cuddling things - if he doesn’t start out hugging something he’ll be hugging a pillow or the covers by the time he wakes up, if there’s another person in bed with him he’ll just start out with cuddling with them whether they want to or not (he’s not into men, but that’s for sex and to him cuddling doesn’t care about gender - so he’ll snuggle up with anyone who gets into bed with him).
He also dreams mainly in black, white and gray and they’re usually more violent in nature. He doesn’t think much of them, though, and they don’t bother him.
Wesha tosses around like crazy in her sleep, she usually won’t get to the point where she’ll actually stand up and walk about, but sometimes she sits up and she’s been known to cover a lot of ground just by rolling and squirming about. She never remembers he dreams, which is probably a good thing since she’d likely get them mixed up with reality (which is mixed up to her enough as is).
Getting to sleep is also pretty difficult for her because there’s always so much coursing through her mind. She used to not be able to sleep at all unless she stayed awake for days until she just passed out from exhaustion. She’s worked out a way to sort’ve meditate herself to sleep, but that’s when her sleep is pretty restless, if she goes until she just passes out she doesn’t usually move around as much.
She usually sleeps on the ground in a tent or under a tree or just UNDER THE STARS since she does a lot of guiding people around from place to place.
Veene I’ve mentioned before pretty much needs to sleep with people/someone otherwise he doesn’t sleep well at all and wakes up feeling worse than before he slept. He doesn’t strictly need to sleep unless he’s been making things all over the place or has gone a significant amount of time without sleep (significant being a few weeks), which is helpful when he can’t find someone to sleep with, but he can sleep fairly easily pretty often if there’s someone to sleep with.
He likes touching, too, (the closer he is to someone the better he sleeps and you can’t get much closer than right on top of them unless he turns into something itty bitty and crawls up their nose) but realizes that some people need their space so he doesn’t go about clinging to anyone unless he’s sure it’s okay with them or that they’d enjoy it.
He doesn’t move much, either, at most he’ll tense or relax but even that doesn’t happen too often. If he’s sleeping with someone else and they’re going crazy in their sleep he might move to avoid getting kicked or slapped, but he, usually, half wakes up to do that.
Because he primarily ‘sees’ the world as energies/auras that’s how he dreams are, too (it’s also why he wakes up when the person he’s passed out with wakes up or he wakes up as soon as someone else walks into the room or through the window). Very rarely will he ever dream in actual images or sounds, so, in a way, his dreams make sense to him the way visual dreams make sense to us, but it’s impossible for him to fully describe them to other people. He also doesn’t have too much in the way of dreams unless he’s passed out alone somewhere in which case he has always had nightmares, not so much dreams.
Lye sleeps when she needs to and she sleeps where she needs to - if she’s out in the middle of a forest she decides what animal natural to the area is the most likely to get some decent rest without being disturbed and will turn into whatever that may be. She’s not a heavy sleeper but she’s not a light sleeper, either, it takes more than something small to wake her up, but once she’s awake she doesn’t usually get back to sleep. As a human she tends to mumble in her sleep, but her dreams generally revolved around things she saw between the last time she slept and her sleeping now, but, like Veene, these come mostly in how they sense auras, not so much visual and auditory and what have you things like us.
