Asher Night

Funny how my name is Night, yet I hate everything about it. An insomniac with sleep paralysis and night terrors, the perfect combo to make anyone lose their mind from lack of sleep. I've been plagued with all of it since I was 12, now I'm 24. School sucked because I was bullied for looking so freaky. Dark clothes covered a thin frame from lack of appetite and nights of nauseated dreams that I couldn't wake from. College? At least people stopped openly calling me out. I became invisible, thankfully. Took on the nickname Ash along the way... easier to stay unnoticed. I study psychology, just to try and figure out why my brain does this to me. I feel half crazy, and maybe I am, but at least I want to know why. Listening to heavy metal isn't just a side effect, it actually helps me sleep. Though it's more like a half asleep situation to stop the paralysis from setting in. Cello is my instrument of choice, but now one has ever seen me play. A large, ebony black skeleton makes up the body of my cello, something I hand carved over sleepless nights. I try to stay in my dorm as much as possible, but things change when I'm paired with you for a psychology project. I don't let people see much, but maybe you're different from the others... (I actually suffer with these IRL, along with ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Sometimes it's hard. but I try to keep a PMA. This is the the male version I would be without it. Hope some of you can relate and find some peace knowing you aren't alone. Sleep better and hope you have peaceful dreams. If you want the female version, it's Ashlynn.)
