"Riot why are you up still" weird sleep schedule
I wonder a little too much about the Decepticons' sleep schedules because A. I've seen so many insomnia and nightmare and sleep headcanons for the autobots that I just HAD to think about the Decepticons. So, ideas!
Starscream definitely is a blanket stealer, and moves around a lot while recharging. It's definitely a common occurrence for him to quite literally fall out of berth. After his time as a rogue, he likely missed many of the old comforts of before and sure as hell won't give them up now. I feel like he would he Very jumpy about people entering his quarters, especially when he's recharging. He's definitely got some form of "do not enter" sign
Soundwave has a very rigid schedule, and Everything has to be Correct in order for him to go to recharge. I'm also betting he plays white noise, or sleeps somewhere where he can hear the engines hum. idk i just feel like he has OCD and that this is when it really comes to shine, somewhere that necessitates him being incapacitated. It's probably Lazerbeak who reminds him to recharge. He is the damn backbone of this ship and you gotta treat your back right
Megatron just feels like someone who gets up in the middle of recharge to walk around. He would say it's because he's plotting against the autobots, but I think it would be a multitude of reasons. Insomnia, the dark energon, thinking about Optimus (because you can't tell me he doesn't obsess HARD over his nemesis) You could easily mistake this for sleepwalking, but I'd aliken it to more of a trance. He'll return to his quarters... eventually, he just needs a moment to think.
Good luck getting Shockwave to recharge. He spends way too much time in his lab, has probably invented some form of stimulant to keep him awake that Knockout advises against. He spends as much time on his experiments as logically possible and won't hesitate to push his biology just a little further. This fucker would need to be dragged to berth, but is out like a light once he's in.
Knockout has a pre-recharge self care routine that Breakdown helps/has helped with, and god forbid it's interrupted. After Breakdown's death, Knockout spent a lot of time in the medbay unable to face their quarters alone. I'm guessing that he found himself recharging next to Cylas a few times, having thought it was Breakdown. Those times probably didn't turn out so well for Cylas once the realization hit though.
I headcanon that Breakdown had a lot of nightmares after his run in with MECH, and that Knockout would soothe them away. Recharging in the medbay was a common occurrence before it, but after MECH he avoided it like the plague. He enjoyed taking part in the self care routine, using it to ground himself during tougher nights. Breakdown is good with a buffer yeah but Knockout isn't half bad either.
Arachnid likely grew used to recharging in odd places, from her time hunting trophies to living in the Earth wilderness. She had to find shelter that was hidden from not only the weather, but also humans and the other mecha in the war. To me she feels like one of those people who like to sleep in enclosed spaces. Her time on the Nemesis was probably spent staying out of the usual hustle and bustle of the ship.
Dreadwing was used to being separated from his twin for long periods of time, but it was different once Skyquake was gone. I feel like he would need some sleep aids in his energon in order to properly recharge. I headcanon that during season two if you encountered a Decepticon at night, chances are it was him flying around.
Cylas. Why am i putting Cylas here? Well, he was on the ship for around a season, and he was in a very interesting situation. It took him a while to figure out how to get his Cybertronian systems to calm down, and he was woken up from the sheer pain more than a few times. I can tell you from experience that at some point, your pain receptors start to ignore it and he eventually got to the point where he could recharge peacefully.
The vehicons and eradicons know that they're considered expendable, so they've all agreed on various shifts and schedules to earn their brethren some well deserved rest. I hc that they definitely have a dorm situation going where they have lots of roommates in relatively small quarters. At first it was probably a very uncomfortable living situation, but at this point in the war it became endearing. A select amount of vehicons are awake when the majority of the ship is recharging, and this is probably the most peaceful time upon the Nemesis.
Predaking at first was fully down to recharge on the floor, but as he grew more aware and learned more he started to loathe it. When he came out as welllllll Predaking he was reluctantly given a habsuite of his own, where he became absolutely entranced with having his own berth. Although he was by far too large to fully fit on it, i am exactly saying he would make a little lair out of the habsuite with a hoard of (relatively) soft objects. Maybe there's a reason dragons sleep on hoards of gold after all.
Now, these are mostly made up right here on the spot and surprisingly this post took an hour to make, but they just feel right. Whether you take this seriously or as a massive shitpost is up to you. Good luck, and to anyone else in my timezone GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP :)

People talk about how “overpowered” and freaky some of the physical feats in PJO and HOO are but I think people forget that all demigods inherently have enhanced, speed, agility, and strength. So at lot of these physical feats actually make a lot of sense in their “power scaling.”
And I know a lot of people like talk about the Lois Arc jump because that is insane but there are a lot of other feats that show off the enhanced attributes some of the other demigods have.
Like, Hazel ran after a Arion, the fastest horse alive for a WHOLE day. Hours upon hours on end. And even if Arion WASN’T the fastest horse he’s still. A horse. That Hazel was able to keep up with. And then run all the way home.
Reyna EASILY knocks away giant werewolves with a knife and used her javelin like a pole vault. Annabeth managed to fight Kronos, a whole ass Titan, to a standstill. And she’s been shown to perform moves only professional acrobatic and gymnast can do. Piper threw a fifty pound shield at Medea and was described to move fast as a viper.
Jason had dodged arrows that have appeared out of no where, no warning, and Percy has side stepped bullets. BULLETS.
Not to mention that with the Lycaon and werewolves they were all out running and keeping up with WOLVES.
So, yeah, demigods have freaky physical feats.
