soft snores could be heard above the students of 1-A 

all were in their dorms and the main living room 

as they finished eating their breakfast the noise soon began to make itself appear 

the shallow breaths also began to get on each other's nerves and made the students very determined to find where it was coming from 

"uhh...guys" mina began with a confused but amused look on her face as it looked to the ceiling 

making the other students stare up as well 

tokoyami was fast asleep on the ceiling light, the metal bars holding him up in a bridal style 

some of the students needed a moment to process this

"tokoyami!" bakugo shouted, having the loudest voice 

which had woken the raven up

tokoyami stretched and gave a big yawn 

he looked around once his vision cleared but by the look of his face he didn't remember how he got there 

and as he looked down he was met with an audience 

"Hey bro, how's it hanging" Kirishima joked 

the day continued as normal 

besides the embarrassment that tokoyami felt when people kept pestering him about the morning's events 

but that embarrassment was soon replaced by tiredness 

tiredness that seemed to be getting more noticeable 

but it wasn't just today 

for as long as the students knew the raven head they had always detected his sleepiness 

especially when that tiredness took him to new heights and places 

he could be seen sleeping everywhere 

on a floaty on their swimming pool 

on a stack of books in the library 

even in an oven 

which lead to a child's lock and a ban from the kitchen for 4 weeks

but when it came tonight

while the others were consumed with growing sleepiness it would seem as if tokoyami was filled with a new energy 

"I can't believe you beat all of us, again!" Jiro cried as she slumped in defeat while the winner tokoyami was smiling proudly and held out a hand to show he was a good sport 

"It is what it is" tokoyami responded 

"you seem to have all this energy all of a sudden" shoji said suspiciously 

"seems so" tokoyami shrugged 

"it's like a weird backwards clock, you're more awake in the night and more asleep in the day, what do you call that" kiminari pondered 

"nocturnal" iida pointed out 

tokoyami merely rolled his eyes and tried to get back to his reading, and wait for the others who tire themselves out 

it wasn't long until everyone excluding the raven head was fast asleep either on the chairs or on the floor 

"ok darkshadow, let's do some late night training" tokoyami muttered determinedly 

"woohoo!" darkshadow whisper yelled as the two left the building 

(the next morning) 

"This needs to stop" sato cried as the classmates went outside 

tokoyami was once again found asleep in another peculiar place 

on top of the roof 

"We need to tell Aizawa about this" midoriya sighed, leaving the others outside to deal with what outside was called 

when the tired teacher came outside 

a look of "I haven't had enough coffee to deal with this" appearing on his face 

"get him down and I'll have a chat with him" he murmured

(after tokoyami woke up) 

"tokoyami, these incidents seem to be continuing, a reason to why," Aizawa asked, knowing what it was like with sleep problems 

"I just can't sleep at night sir" tokoyami admitted 

Aizawa pondered further 

"I know this may be a weird question but do any other members of your family have...bird mutations" Aizawa questioned 

"my grandfather had some owl features" tokoyami admitted, though confused why his teacher was asking him this, besides he showed more raven then any other species 

"I know you show more of raven attributes, but, it could be possible you inherited a nocturnal gene" his teacher added 

"but, what should I do then, I can't just miss class because I'm tired" tokoyami panicked 

"that's why I'm prescribing you some sleeping pills that will help you get to sleep during the night," Aizawa said as he leads the raven to the hospital ward 

the pills worked like a charm 

but he was still found in weird places, thanks for the pills that caused sleepwalking 

"WHO FORGOT TO LOCK THE OVEN" bakugo shouted as he pulled a well-rested tokoyami out of the dormant fire pit
