consider: june lets arcee sleep in the house after she finds out that her son’s motorcycle is actually a sentient robot warrior and she and jack build a giant pillow + blanket pile for her. but they do a bit too good of a job of it and arcee doesn’t ever want to be anywhere else
Remus insisting he’s fine to hang out with everyone days before the full moon generally leads many embarrassing photos of him failing to stay awake and lots of bets going around on how long it takes before he’s completely passed out in some ridiculous spot
a rare closeup of a black swift, found throughout north america and small parts of south america. swifts are rarely seen up close; they spend more of their life in air than any other species of bird – they eat, drink, mate and sleep while in flight. they are incapable of perching like other birds; they must cling to vertical surfaces.
I had to look this up because “sleep while in flight” ????
but yeah, apparently completely true. these birds stay aloft for as much as 10 months nonstop, feed on insects, spend more energy at night (when there aren’t warm thermals to ride) and at dawn and dusk climb to 10,000 ft altitude where the 30 min slow descent is probably when they catch their sleep.
they’re unusually long-lived for such active critters (20 yrs) and they may be limiting energy expenditure by being extremely aerodynamic and narrow bodied. Also a single bird travels the distance of about 7 roundtrip journeys to the moon in its lifetime (>3 million miles).
