okay so heres the HC about tim sleep/caffine problems. its not necessarily that hes the only one with sleep problems, the batfam is literally made up exclusively of people who spend their time doing highly physically demanding things all night and/or are very traumatized. excess use of caffeine, sleep deprivation, and insomnia are not unique to timmy.
its just that to function at full capacity he usually needs like 10 hours of sleep and a nap in the middle of the day. and if he doesnt have that he just gets so so sleepy. sure, he can push through it, and he does most of the time, but hes more prone than the others to fall asleep spontaneously if hes not 100% focused or Full Of Caffeine.
he is the #1 perpetrator of saying hes just gonna lay down for a minute and immediately falling asleep. and of being woken up, promising that hes awake and totally conscious right now, and then when someone checks back up on him hes dead asleep again and doesnt remember waking up or talking to anyone at all.
#tim drake#batfam#red robin#he has 14 alarms set to randomized sounds so he doesnt get too used to them and sleep through anyway#if he wakes up by someone unfamiliar/in a place thats unfamiliar tho he fuckin SNAPS awake bc of that good old batman training#and also rampant paranoia#basically my whole fam has different sleep problems#timmys got a combo of us#being sleepy and being tired are so so different#tired? doesnt actually mean you can sleep. sleepy? oh god i need 10000 different things to happen right now or im gonna nap on my feet#i used to get abruptly sleepy right as a test started in school#it would legit be so hard to focus unless i took like a 1 min power nap right then#and then id wake up and be like OHFUCK the TEST#and then do the test lamo#not like narcolepsy btw i dont think its that. just The Sleepy#i imagine timmy on a good day does like. 3-5 hrs of sleep and a 5-30 min nap around midday#and then whenever he has time off he conks out for however long it takes for him to wake up naturally#on a bad day hes just white knuckling it through the day. his eyes are open and he is responding but do not expect him to fully process#dc
