This was a drawing I did last year when I was using an old laptop, and wanted to draw something as a new desktopBG.
As someone with a sleep disorder, I think y'all can understand why this is a common motif for me.

I've decided to manually track how many naps I take for all of 2026 along with some other sleep metrics. maybe by the end of the year I can make some fun charts or graphs of my sleepiness

HAPPY #WorldNarcolepsyDay !! 🥳

I'm diagnosed with sleepy bitch disease, Idiopathic Hypersomnia! It causes me to sleep around 10+ hours daily. Combined with sleep inertia, memory issues, automatic behavior, etc. it makes for a fun condition 😂😭

Locked In Syndrome

At times
it looks like I’m dead.

I’m fully sentient.

I can hear,
feel,
think

alone.

I understand.
It’s hard to carry on a conversation
even bear witness
to an unresponsive body.
Best leave it be.

Imagine this cycle for several hours, it gets confusing 🫠

after death comes an awakening, but i cant wake up.
"migraine" was trying to show what they feel like for me (including visual components) lol

because it made so much sense and also reframed my experience as someone with idiopathic #hypersomnia. Because I have to nap every day and am easily tired by too much activity, I perpetually feel abnormal. Why can’t I do the things other people can do?

Oh to have the sun herself as your personal heater
