what do you do when your alter is asleep and fronting?

i saw this previously on the lemm.ee community and now i'm curious because i've experienced that before too. i've been fronting and awake but there will be an alter sleeping in front.

Do you mean like co-fronting but one is asleep?

Well, we haven't experienced that (yet). However, we would ask the following questions:

  • Are you likely to wake them up unintentionally?
  • Is it stopping you from fronting properly?

If no for both then we'd just leave them sleep.

If yes for one or both then maybe try to wake them intentionally and ask them to unfront?

I can’t move or function sometimes when it happens, but idk if i’m likely to wake them. Usually I don’t wake them though

Oh, yeah. We've heard that can be a problem for others. Oh, like they won't wake up or you don't want to?

Ah, okay. Maybe you could talk to him when you're both awake and see if you can resolve it going forward so that it's easier for y'all to operate?
