Name ;; Paul
Gender ;; Male
Why don't they sleep at night? ;; The inevitably approaching morning keeps Paul awake for hours on end. Despite his attempts to do so, his mind rebels against the idea of sleeping, of getting a good night's rest, because there is too much to worry about, too much to do in so little time. As the clock ticks by, procrastination slowly, subtly slips under his skin, making him unconsciously itch and squirm as the precious seconds he has are wasted one by one. He knows that he could banish this uncomfortable form of living were he to do what he must in the time he has, but always, always there is some sort of voice whispering into his ear, telling him he had no time, no time to focus on such boring things in life, and even less youth left to enjoy. Go out and play is his motto, yet will the playing ever end? Will he ever sleep a sound sleep, knowing he's done his best? Only the time he has left can tell if he'll be able to change quick enough to enjoy a future of relaxed, uninterrupted slumber.

It all started when he was a kit.
Dezi never asked for the hand he was dealt, nor did he ever wish it upon anyone else. He would never, could never, for as much as other beat him down, broke him, there was absolutely no way he could hope that anyone would feel what he felt. Nobody deserved it.
Dezi likes to convince himself that he's fighting through it because somebody has to do it, and if he won't, someone else will.
The fear. The horror. The trauma.
Sleep paralysis.
When he was young, he would find himself trapped, in his bed, in the fetal position or even just flat on his back, covered in sweat, unable to scream, hide, or even blink, desperately trying to will away the shadows that crept up to his bed, the horrid, black things that pulled at his legs and tail. And he was helpless the entire time.
He would scream when he finally came out if it. He would scream and scream and scream, and sometimes even cry, and no matter how hard his parents tried to console him, all he could see were the things, on his bed, in his mind, whispering to him. This happened only once before the paralysis became frequent.
Often, neighbors would call his parents asking if he was okay and telling them to shut him up. His parents, however, were as helpless as Dezi himself. It wasn't long before Dezi's parents sent him to therapy.
The therapy helped how Dezi felt outside of the paralysis, but never even scratched the surface of helping cure the entire thing. When therapy didn't help, they sent him to a military school, hoping that it might snap some sense into his mind. It did the opposite. The military school sent him home a terrified, trembling, teary mess. Dezi refused to talk to his parents, and soon, everyone, after he came back. He became a voluntary mute.
Only a week or so after his return, his parents sent him to a mental hospital. He spent his teen years there, and not once did he speak, and not once did the paralysis stop. Not even one time.
Dezi came up with a silent solution: he would never sleep.
Over the years, Dezi had developed somniphobia. And a whopping case, too. Making the decision to not sleep wasn't concerning or difficult at all for Dezi. In fact, he was all in. He would drink all the coffee and energy drinks he could, or induce himself into a deep sleep with medication during the day so he wouldn't wake up, but that was an exceedingly rare case. Consider yourself lucky if you ever catch Dezi asleep, as chances are you never will.

Gender ;; Male
Why don't they sleep at night? ;; The job of firefly farmer had never been easy. Alex had to stay up late, making sure the insects had sufficient food and water, and that their enclosure was kept nice and clean. Not being nocturnal, it took Alex a few years to adjust to the new schedule and the odd circadian rythm that his body was slowly getting used to; however, after awhile, he began finding it easier and easier. The job of firefly farmer had never been easy, but it was certainly better now! (Although he still considers more day jobs...)

Why don't they sleep at night? ;;
The creaking coming from the living room that starts once he enters his room. Swapnil would be fine if he knew what was causing it, but the thing is... he doesn't. It could just be a mouse or rat that only coincidentally starts roaming once he leaves the room, but the room part. Why can't he know what's causing it? Why don't they want him to see them? Those thoughts keep him up. They don't enable him to get a good rest, as what could be causing that noise might be beyond anything he could imagined, and anything he could possibly fight.

Name ;; Murdoc
Gender ;; Male
Why don't they sleep at night? ;; Murdoc has a hard time with sleep because he can't seem to stop having caffeine and he doesn't realize he may have anxiety. He drinks coffee in the morning, tons of soda and chips in between, and a late night coffee; giving him too much energy to function in the mornings.
His coffee problem came from his career that he has. He works for a small, crowded, 9-5 office. He hates it and is looking for a new career

Gender ;; Male
Why don't they sleep at night? ;;
At night in his tiny cabin tucked away in one small space of the ship, it takes Arsen ages to fall asleep because he gets crazy naseous. Rather then sleeping, he spends the whole night trying not to puke. On top of that, his bunkmate snores louder then an elephant! It's absolutely ridiculous. Captain is not happy with his tired state the next morning and is always tough on him because he's half asleep during the morning chores. Maybe he really shouldn't have joined this crew in the first place...then again, gold.
