kay but imagine Grace helping some Eridians do experiments on him (safe and ethical ones that are both Grace and Rocky approved) and one of them involves a sleep study (in possibly the most literal sense of the term)
even though he's an alien they're kind of just expecting his brain to shut off in his sleep like theirs does so imagine their shock when during the study he just... wakes up. either to ask them if they can do their work quieter or to use the bathroom. they didn't know he could do that or that something like that was even an option.
wdym ur brain just keeps going during sleep? is it damaged? does that hurt it??
it gets even weirder when they learn about dreams and worse when they find out that not even humans understand them. it's your brain how do you not know????
