He’s been in bed even before he regained his human body, having hopped up here as a baby demogorgon, burying himself into the blankets, and stubbornly going to sleep. He was so worn, so exhausted, his mind filled with unkind thoughts. Sleep is rarely an escape for Henry, but after that wretched game… it was a necessity.

Lying on his side, breathing deeply in only the way a man deep under the thrall of dreams can. At least the transformation back was nice enough to put him in his night clothes, too.
It’s going to take a little more than her standing in his doorway to wake him up.]
