To actually fall asleep when my head hits the pillow, and then stay asleep until the alarm goes off.

Unless there's no alarm set, otherwise an untimely demise.

Sounds like as good a retirement plan as any. /shrug

Or if his head never leaves the pillow, or comes into contact with a second pillow...

He would lose every pillow fight, but be well rested for the next one.

OR one simply has to wait for a prince. But you never know when the next one's coming around.

He said B Tier! As a lifelong chronic insomniac Iโ€™d give almost anything for that ability.

Better: Type in any time to sleep in the bed. No need to set an alarm, just set 7h and done.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like we're pushing the limits of B-tier, but then I don't actually know what B-tier even means, so let's keep the ball rolling:

The ability to completely freeze time except for yourself (and magicking away the fine print like suffocating if you froze the the oxygen around your nose/mouth) but ONLY when you're asleep.

5 minute break at work? Lemme just find a comfy chair and BAM 8 hours down the hatch!

Up all night studying and now your final is in two hours? BAM completely rested.

ย 

...I guess the catch being that if you overused it (and I totally would) you'd be aging while everything else was on pause, so you'd be like 90 years old physiologically, but only like 60 going by the date.

...which also means you could live your whole life and peace out before the clime wars start!! WOO!

Damn that's a nice one.
And it would actually be very useful.
Taking away tge age thing would really push it to A-tier for commoners as a power.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have this power, and one little caveat of it is how much I crave dozing, ie being awake, sleepy, and cozy but not needing to get up. I guess could just set my alarm earlier but I need the sleep more
