Aizawa was grading his student papers in his apartment. As he finished, he saw that it was almost midnight. Aizawa let out a yawn and stretched his arms, "Gotta get a good night's sleep. Can't have the principal nagging me about setting an example for the kids." The teacher crawled into his bed and immediately went to sleep.

Beep. Beep. Aizawa groaned as he got out of bed and turned off the alarm on his phone. That's when he realized that he had less than an hour before he had to be at school. Aizawa jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower and a change of clothes. He then grabbed some coffee and drank it all up in a single gulp. Once he was energized, he grabbed the papers that he needed for the class and ran with all his might. He still had some time before school started, but he had to input the results of the student's papers onto the school's grading system. He managed to make it in time and quickly inputted the grades.

Aizawa entered the classroom, causing all the students to go silent. He began explaining the schedule for the day, but ended up falling asleep as he was talking. Izuku walked up to him, "Um, Mr. Aizawa?" Iida walked up to him, "Mr. Aizawa, this is most unprofessional. Please wake up and explain the schedule for today." However, their teacher was too far into his dreams to hear them. The other students cheered. They began getting out of their seats and causing a ruckus. Heimao said, "Uh, just because he's asleep doesn't mean he can't hear you. You're going to get in trouble." Bakugo growled at him, "Shut up extra." The noise was so loud that Aizawa opened his eyes and stood up, "Shut up you brats!!" The class went silent. Aizawa pointed to the class, "Detention for everyone!" The students began complaining. Iida said, "But Mr. Aizawa, me and Midoriya were just trying to wake you up." Aizawa glared at him, "Double detention Iida. Next time you talk back, it's a week's worth." Iida was shocked and went back to his seat, dejected. Izuku raised a textbook to begin talking to Heimao, "What's wrong with Mr. Aizawa? He's super cranky today." Heimao replied, "He must not be getting enough sleep. There has been a lot of homework recently. He's probably staying up late to grade it all." Izuku frowned, "I hope that he doesn't end up falling asleep again. He might get in trouble."

As the day went on, Aizawa continued to fall asleep in random places. Each time he did, a student or a staff member would immediately wake him up. While Aizawa was grateful that they woke him up with the best intentions, he still wanted to sleep. He mumbled as he got into the sleeping bag he kept in the teacher's lounge, "Dammit. I need sleep." Aizawa zipped up the zipper and tried to got to sleep. Dakubatafurai sensed his emotions, "Ah, a man that just wants peace and quiet so that he can sleep. Such perfect prey for my little Akuma. (A butterfly lands in his hand and he fills it with negative energy before releasing it.) Fly away my little Akuma and evilize this poor, tired soul!" The Akuma flew to Aizawa and entered his sleeping bag. Aizawa woke up and spoke to Dakubatafurai telepathically, "Sleepie, I am  Dakubatafurai. I'm giving you the power to send others to sleep. With this, no one will be able to bother you as you rest. In return, I need Bugaboi and Kuro Cat's Miraculous." Aizawa said, "As long as I get sleep, I don't care. I'm in." He was engulfed in dark energy. When he was finished, he had dark skin, red eyes, and his sleeping bag was floating and had turned a dark blue color. Aizawa entered the sleeping bag and a strange dust started coming out. The sleeping bag began to move and go to where some of the teachers were. The teachers were shocked by what they were seeing, but once they had the dust from the bag sprinkled on them, they began falling asleep. Sleepie continued to sprinkle the dust to the rest of the people in the building. 

"So, what about this problem?" "Not sure." Heimao and Izuku were spending their break doing some of their homework. That was when they heard some students screaming. They looked into the halls and saw that several of the students were sleeping. Hovering over them was a dark blue sleeping bag. The two of them quickly closed the door and ran. Izuku said, "Uh, we should get somewhere safe. You know, to avoid the new villain." Heimao nodded, "Sure. Be careful." Izuku ran to the back of the room, exiting from the other door. Heimao moved to a small corner as Plagg came out of his shirt, "You know, you should tell him that you know his true identity." Heimao chuckled, "Where's the fun in that? Besides, it's better if he doesn't know. We can't let anyone else know about the Miracle Box. Now, Plagg, claws out!" Plagg was sucked into the ring and transformed Heimao into Kuro Cat. He stayed behind the corner just as Sleepie entered. Kuro Cat jumped from the corner to attack the villain, but it was avoided. Kuro stood up and extended his staff strike the villain, but the attack was evaded again. The villain said, "Go to sleep." A large amount of dust started pouring from the bag. Kuro was surprised and ran away to avoid the dust. He stopped at a desk to grab a chair and through it at the villain, but the chair just bounced off the bag. More dust began falling out from the bag and started forming a large cloud around the bag. Suddenly, shots of the dust came out of the cloud, aimed at Kuro. The hero dodged the attacks, but was cornered when he hit the back of the wall. One of the shots was about to hit him, but was stopped by Bugaboi's yoyo. 

Kuro let out a sigh, "You're late." Bugaboi turned to him, "I needed to find a place to transform. Anyway, what are we dealing with?" Kuro shrugged, "No idea. That sleeping bag has just been releasing that dust. He told me to go to sleep when it started pouring out, so I think the dust puts you to sleep." The dust shots continued to be fired. Bugaboi said, "Okay, that's a start. avoid being touched by the dust. That should be easy. Any idea who this is?" Kuro Cat shook his head, "No idea. I can't think of anyone who'd become a sleeping villain." The two of them gasped when they realized that the villain must be Mr. Aizawa. Bugaboi stammered, "Uh, well, we, uh, better defeat this villain." Kuro Cat chuckled, "Oh, right." The two of them cried out in surprise  as a large shot of dust attacked them, but they managed to dodge just in time. Bugaboi asked, "Where's the Akuma? I don't see him holding anything." Kuro Cat suggested, "Maybe it's in the bag. I can destroy it, but I won't be able to use my power after that." Bugaboi thought for a moment, "Maybe it's not in the bag. Maybe it is the bag!" Kuro hummed, "You might be right. I'll try to destroy it." He ran towards the villain, but stopped as the cloud of dust began growing and surrounded the bag. Kuro groaned, "Damn it. The dust isn't letting me through. I won't be able to destroy it." Bugaboi said, "Then it's time for my...Lucky Charm!!" He threw his yoyo in the air. Magical ladybugs surrounded the yoyo and created...a stack of paddles. Bugaboi was confused and looked around for what he could use. Sleepie groaned, "Go to sleep!!!" More dust began to pour out, causing the two heroes to rush outside. 

Bugaboi let out a sigh of relief, which was replaced by a feeling of dread as his earrings began beeping, signifying that he only had a few minutes before he transformed back. Kuro Cat said, "We need to figure out how to use the Lucky Charm fast." He turned and gasped as he saw the bag and the dust come out. Bugaboi looked around and came up with an idea. He rushed to grab a bike, some old bike parts that were abandoned and ran away, "Keep him busy. I've got a plan." Kuro Cat said, "Roger that. Just hurry." The extended his staff to pass through the dust cloud, but the cloud had become too dense for the staff to pass through. Kuro Cat withdrew it and began goading the villain, "Hey, mister sleeping beauty. Over here!" The cloud continued shooting bullets of dust. Kuro continued to dodge them until Bugaboi called out, "Ready. Lead him over here." Kuro followed Bugaboi's voice and was surprised that he had made a makeshift fan using the parts and connected them to the bike. Bugaboi began peddling, causing the fan to start rotating. As Sleepie approached, the fan began blowing away the dust. Once the dust was all gone, Kuro Cat called on his power, "Cataclysm!" His ring became charged with destructive energy. He jumped and touched the sleeping bag. The bag fell to the ground and the Akuma was released. Bugaboi opened his yoyo, "No more evil doing for you little Akuma. It's time to de-evilize! (He threw the yoyo at the Akuma and captured it.) Gotcha. (He released the purified butterfly.) Bye-bye little butterfly." Bugaboi went to grab the paddles from the fan and threw them in the air, "Miraculous Ladybug!" The paddles separated into magical ladybugs that fixed the damage and turned Sleepie back into Mr. Aizawa. Kuro Cat turned to Bugaboi, "Good job." Bugaboi chuckled, "Thanks." He was brought out of his thoughts when his earrings beeped, signaling that he was about to transform back. Kuro Cat's ring began beeping as well. The two heroes quickly ran to hide before they de-transformed. 

Meanwhile, Dakubatafurai yelled in anger, "Damn those two brats. They defeated another one of my villains. But I'll beat these pathetic little do gooders eventually. Just you wait heroes!"

The next day, Aizawa entered the teacher's lounge and was surprised to see his co-worker Hizashi Yamada waiting at his desk. Aizawa asked, "What are you doing here?" Yamada smiled at him, "Aizawa, check this out. I thought you'd be the happiest about this new plan. The principal is planning on building a relaxation room for the teachers to work and sleep if they need to. Should be done in a few weeks." Aizawa chuckled, "Huh, guess that's good." Yamada laughed, "Admit it, you're excited." Aizawa took a seat and started working, "Maybe a little."
