Fever Aesthetic: Sleeping

My favorite sickfic tropes when it comes to fevers are either a completely restless character or a character that is just out like a light.

Imagine your exhausted character closing their eyes and falling asleep in less than a minute. Caretaker tries to wake them up to take their temperature, or get them to drink water, but the character doesn’t even react to Caretaker.

*BONUS: Your character usually is never seen sleeping, they go to bed later, and wake up earlier than everyone else. Or maybe your character usually sleeps quietl. However, due to the fever, the character sleeps for much longer than they usually would.

*BONUS BONUS: The character snores from congestion, and Caretaker puts up with it because they know how much this character need sleep.*

Imagine your restless character jolting every hour after an intense fever dream tangled in blankets in a cold sweat, but they’re freezing. They feel too weak to walk around, so they lay there. Every time the character feels their eyes drift closed, they know that they’re gonna enter a world of terror that they can’t resist.

*BONUS: The character is delirious from fever, so they wake up sobbing and still “in the dream” as Caretaker tries to actually wake them up*
