dick

that man is an octopus. he is alllll over you. on your side? his leg is thrown over yours, caging you in. on your back? he's lying on top like a weighted blanket. i just KNOW hes a human radiator so it’s great for the winter, not so much for summer… if he's on his back, he’ll have you on top on him, his hands wandering every which way. if he's had a hard patrol, he’ll come in and just flop on top of you, burying his face in your neck and not moving even when you squirm under him. he'll press hot kisses along your neck when you try and shove him off, just to get you to melt under him and let him stay. dick will just put his hands up under your sleep shirt just to be closer to you. he would get even more clingier if you try and get up while he’s asleep, even if it’s just to go to the bathroom. and his grip is strong. so you usually end up stuck since he won’t let you go even if he wakes up. 

jason

he only ever sleeps on his back or his side, his back facing the wall. he always mutters something about he just doesn’t want to be taken by surprise. however he’ll have you cuddled up against his chest, on arm slung over your waist if he’s on his side. he's not as clingy as dick but he's a touch starved guy so he’ll be a bit more touch in his sleep. never fear, you'll never be far out his grip. if he's on his back though, he doesn’t like it when your completely on top of him, saying it restricts his mobility but he’ll let you cuddle up with your head on his chest. lying close together never lasts long though, he always ends up star fishing and accidentally stealing all the blankets (jason just has the habit to burrow in as many blankets as he can). if you’re pouty about it the morning, he’ll just make you breakfast and quietly slide it over to you with does eyes  like the menace he is (you fold immediately)

tim

when he does sleep, he’s completely knocked out. like he either goes down hard or is the lightest sleeper ever. when hes knocked out he’ll be like a rock so you could essentially sleep however you want but he relaxes a lot more when you’re close to him. he'll unconsciously wrap his arms round you and tug you close if you even get close to him. he's not as clingy as his brother but he can be plenty clingy when he wants to be. when he’s sleeping lightly like a quick (forced) nap between working you can lie next to him and he’ll peek down at you before sighing fondly and tugging you on top of him like a human blanket. he’ll always manage to nose his way into the crook of your neck when he’s cold (he always runs cold and you're a heater to him) you'll flinch and pinch his side but he won’t ease up, so eventually you stop trying to stop him and just let him use you as a heater

duke

like dick hes a clingy sleeper. he'll be all over you, his favourite way to sleep is spooning where he's the little spoon, it makes him feel safe, and he loves to tip his head back and press little kisses to your collarbones or the underside of your jaw. but he also loves when you lie on top of him with your fully body weight. he’ll keep you trapped in his arms, but by the end of the night hes sprawled across the mattress. i think duke would also be a messy sleeper, like tossing and turning until hes tangled up in the covers. it annoys you so much because he's somehow managed to trap himself in the covers while you freeze your ass off. sometimes if you’re feeling extra petty about it you leave him to fend for himself instead of helping him untangle himself in the morning.

cass

she's a pretty chill sleeper. she’ll cuddle up against you, her head pressed against your chest so she can hear your heartbeat. she says it helps her sleep (you think it’s the sweetest thing ever) she also likes to be the big spoon, just so she can have you all wrapped up in her arms. i think cass would be a generally neat sleeper, like minimal movement except when she had nightmares and she just likes to cuddle, no matter the partner. when she takes naps she likes to curl up in your lap like a cat, her face pressed into your stomach, you think it’s sweet but tell her that she might suffocate if she sleeps with her face covers so often. she just deadpans and holds up her vigilante suit. that makes you shut up. cass is probably the best person the sleep with out of the whole family simply because she's so versatile and is pretty much comfortable with whatever her partner wants. as long as she gets her cuddles in the end :)))

steph

steph is both a clingy sleeper and and a messy sleeper. post patrol she’ll be all over you, just refusing to move off you, even if you say you can’t breathe, she would only shift a little to prevent you suffocating. she’ll lie on top of you saying she's going to sleep but then yap your ear off with patrol gossip until you're actually wiped out and she's nuzzling into your chest and the crook of your neck, just breathing in the smell of your body wash. steph would also somehow tangle the both of you in the covers with her night thrashing. it’s not even due to nightmares. she's just like that. you'll wake up in the morning, completely shifted around on your stomach while steph is halfway off the bed but somehow still blissfully knocked out. she falls asleep in the weirdest positions, like she’ll fall asleep mid convo if she’s tired enough, even if she’s doing like a freaking gymnastics move. she's just slide out of the move and flop on top of you, face buried in your hair, inhaling deeply like that's a normal thing for a person to do. you are always deeply concerned by the positions she falls asleep in. 

damian

at first he's hesitant to cuddle, only really ever cuddling with his pets, like letting them sleep on his bed on top of him. but eventually he comes round to the idea and just shifts all his pets onto you and joins them in cuddling you. he likes to feel like he’s protecting you, even in his sleep so he’ll be the big spoon, pressing kisses into your hairline if you can’t sleep. he's a relatively neat sleeper, never hogging the blankets or shifting around too much, only ever really moving with you. like if you start to wiggle around, he’ll wake up just to stop you from falling off the bed. damian is also quite a light sleeper so doesn’t particularly like having anyone on top of him, just for easy movement so he can get up in the morning without disturbing your sleep. 

bruce

that man either sleeps like a dead man or he’ll be all over you. there's no in between. he's just intense like that. usually he sleeps on his back and lets you cling onto him like koala but when he’s really feeling clingy he’ll smother you and just hold you as close to him as possible, like your thigh will be hiked up over his hip and his hands will be everywhere just so he can reassure himself that you're real and that you’re not going to leave him. when hes really sleep deprived, like dead on his feet, he’ll be so out of it he’ll just crash and nothing will move him. you'll have to use all your strength to get the man to roll over so you can get into bed. bruce never bothers with blankets or covers. he comes in from patrol and just flops straight on top of the covers after hes changed into comfortable clothes. he won’t starfish as such but he has a like a sixth sense so if you even move a fraction out of his grip, he’ll be tugging you back into his arms and not letting go.

He doesn’t rly enter REM sleep and tosses and turns in the night, he also doesn’t get ENOUGH sleep like ever. Sleeps on his side. This guy is sleep deprived and does not dream at all. Wears an old t-shirt and sweatpants/shorts to sleep depending on the temperature.

Pete: NEEDS to hug smth in his sleep, deffo has a big pillow that he refuses to call a body pillow on his bed. He probably had a really stained mattress cover bc he doesn’t bother to wash it as often as he should. He sleeps really heavily, and doesn’t get woken up easily. His mouth is always open when he sleeps, deffo drools and snores a bit. He moves a bit in the beginning of the night but is relatively still in deep sleep. Sleeps on his side.

Jerry: He sleeps super well, he has a fancy super cushioned and soft bed that he sleeps in. He sleeps on his back bc he saw a TikTok once that sleeping on your side is bad for your face and so now he refuses to sleep on his side. He sleeps in a robe... Quick to sleep but slow to wake, NOT A MORNING PERSON. Has a bunch of plushies on his bed too. Medium to light sleeper, doesn’t get woken up super easily but wakes up to loud noises.

Joshie: Super cozy, needs a weighted blanket to sleep. Sleeps both on her back and her side, she usually has her phone or computer in bed and falls asleep with her headphones still on, sometimes in discord VCs. She snores a little bit but not as much as Pete, and turns a little. Joshie dreams a lot, she has like a sleep journal and has wanted to purposefully lucid dream into the stuff she’s into. Has listened to those audios on YouTube to help lucid dream before. She deffo has plushies on her bed.
