The '''Dysian AimiansSleepless''', also known as '''SleeplessDysian Aimians''',{{wobbook ref|2113twok|54}} are a sapient non-human race from an unknown planet in the [[cosmere]].{{book ref|sa3.5|18}}{{wob ref|14313}} Their bodies are made up of swarms of creatures called "hordelings" that are mentally linked.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}}{{wob ref|1543}} They refer to themselves as "Sleepless"{{wob ref|2113}} because at least some part of the horde is always awake.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} Some of the Sleepless can be found on [[Roshar]], thatand they once lived in the [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] of [[Aimia]].{{wob ref|9640}}

Dysian AimiansSleepless have a unique physiology, as their "bodies" are actually composed of thousands{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} of small [[cremling]]-like creatures called "hordelings" that are able to function as a single consciousness.{{wob ref|11484}}{{wob ref|1543}} The hordelings are not limited in how they assemble themselves; with practice, a Sleepless can mimic the shape of other creatures, including humans.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} However,Sleepless manynot Sleeplesson areRoshar barelywould humanoid.{{wobnot ref|2902}}be Theypracticed referin toimitating themselvesthe ashuman form, "Sleepless"and would look completely different.{{wob ref|211314312}} because at least some part of the horde is always awake.{{bookwob ref|sa2.5|182902}} Unlike [[Siah Aimian]]s, Dysian Aimians cannot mate with humans.{{wob ref|10842}}
 
=== Hordelings ===
Hordelings are usually about the size of a finger,{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} andbut they can be as large as a fist.{{wob ref|11672}} or sometimes as large as a building.{{book ref|sa3|19}} Hordelings on Roshar often resemble native creatures known as cremlings[[cremling]]s simply to make them less noticeable to casual observers; they can take other forms.{{wob ref|3346}} The hordelings of each Sleepless are not all identical, and often serve specific purposes.{{wob ref|1543}} For example, because [[Arclo]] tries to pass as a human, many of his hordelings have protrusions on their backs that resemble human parts such as skin or eyeballs; he is also able to speak with a passably human voice.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} However, individual hordelings cannot actually shapeshift, so the nature of a Sleepless body is usually visible upon close inspection.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} Sleepless therefore tend to cover their "skin" when possible, or use the appearance of older skin{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} or tattoos{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} to obscure their true nature.
 
=== Adaptation and Regeneration ===
Hordelings can be specially bred to enhance specific capabilities of a Sleepless, such as a heightened sense of smell or increased memory capacity, although this process takes some time.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} [[Nikli]] notes that it took three hundred years to breed hordelings that could imitate human fingers.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}} Over the course of many generations, some have even managed to breed hordelings that are able to mimic the powers of a [[larkin]].{{wob ref|12658}} There is a limit on both the total mass and number of hordelings a Sleepless can have at any given time,{{wob ref|12043}} but the maximum number would definitely allow a Sleepless to become much larger than human-sized.{{wob ref|11672}}{{wob ref|11953}} Because they can continually create new hordelings to replace any that are lost, the personality of a Sleepless can live forever, as long as not too many of the hordelings are destroyed at once.{{wob ref|3885}}
 
==== Reproduction ====
Sleepless are able to reproduce, but "reproduction" for them has a variety of termsconnotations. They can breed specific hordelings for specificspecialized purposes over time and can also exchange hordelings if they need toneeded in order to improve their genetic diversity. They can even crossbreed with other species such as the larkin[[lancer]].{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} Creating a new Sleepless is a different experience.{{wob ref|13236}} They refer to this as "separatingSeparating" and it involves splitting off a subsection of an existing swarm and allowing it to gain independence over time.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} Newly independent swarms retain the genetic adaptations of their "parent" swarm and are able to fine-tune the evolutions of their hordelings to even greater effect.{{book ref|sa3|19}}
 
=== Consciousness ===
In practice, hordelings function as a "hive mind",{{wob ref|1543}} but they are not technically one entity.{{wob ref|11869}} Hordelings have the ability to separate from the main body to act as remote agents while maintaining their mental link with the rest of the horde.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} Certain circumstances could lead to a hordeling being split off from the group and forced to act independently.{{wob ref|11869}} For example, a hordeling that is physically too distant from the others can lose contact with the main mind, and this would affect its [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] aspect.{{wob ref|11603}} A [[Hemalurgic]] spike would disconnect a hordeling from the hivemind.{{wob ref|3319}} The Sleepless are not able to split their consciousness between the Cognitive Realm and the [[Physical Realm]].{{wob ref|11869}} They can also form multiple humanoid bodies at once, but it is difficult and risks making the split permanent, creating a new Sleepless. This is made easier if the bodies are not engaged in intelligent tasks at the same time.{{wob ref|14314}}

== History ==
=== Origins ===
All known Sleepless on Roshar descend from a single swarm currently named Yelamaiszin. Although not native to Roshar, the Sleepless lived in Aimia prior to the [[Scouring of Aimia]], which has been characterized by [[Hessi]] as "total destruction".{{epigraph ref|sa3|113}}{{wob ref|14313}} They coexisted with the [[Siah Aimian]]s, but are not related to them.{{wob ref|5479}} Despite the fact that they survived, the destruction of their home on Aimia seems to have caused the Sleepless a great deal of emotional pain.{{book ref|sa2.5|9}}▼
Sleepless, or Dysian Aimians, existed on other planets in the [[cosmere]]{{wob ref|11778}} and are known to have traveled between them.{{wob ref|12222}} [[Hoid]] was the only person known to use the term "Dysian," and the source of the term is unknown.{{book ref|twok|54}} All known Sleepless on Roshar descended from a single swarm currently named [[Yelamaiszin]].{{book ref|sa2.5|6}}

Dysian Aimians exist on other planets in the [[cosmere]]{{wob ref|11778}} and have traveled between them in the past.{{wob ref|12222}} Unlike Rosharan Sleepless, they cannot imitate the human form. They also look completely different.{{wob ref|14312}} By the time of the [[True Desolation]], there are twenty-four Sleepless.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}{{wob ref|1784}}{{book ref|sa1|i|5}} As both Siah Aimians and Dysian Aimians are immortal, the remaining individuals seem to be aware of each other.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} [[Hoid]] is the only person known to use the term "Dysian," and the source of the term is unknown.{{book ref|twok|54}}
 
=== Heraldic Epochs ===
The Sleepless havehad a long history with the [[Herald]]s and [[Knights Radiant]].{{ref|text=[[The Way of Kings#Cover Synopsis|''The Way of Kings'' cover synopsis]]}} Some Sleepless were once able to use the power of [[Surgebinding]].{{ref|text=[[Oathbringer#Cover Synopsis|''Oathbringer'' cover synopsis]]}} At least some of the Sleepless, including Arclo,{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} were allies of the Heralds and Knights Radiant during the [[Heraldic Epochs]]. Arclo tells [[Lift]] that others of his kind are particularly interested in Radiants.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} At least one Dysian Aimian may have fought during [[Aharietiam]], as [[Dalinar Kholin]] notices a heap of burned, strange cremlings in one of [[Dalinar's visions|his visions]];{{book ref|sa3|42}} it is not clear which side they fought on.
 
=== Modern Roshar ===
By the time of the [[True Desolation]], there were twenty-four Sleepless on Roshar.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}{{wob ref|1784}}{{book ref|sa1|i|5}} As both Siah Aimians and Sleepless were immortal, the remaining individuals seemed to be aware of each other.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}}
The Sleepless are able to monitor current events on Roshar using their hordelings, and they are particularly interested in Dalinar, [[Kaladin]], [[Shallan]], [[Szeth]], [[Navani]], [[Eshonai]], and [[Venli]], believing them to be crucial to the future of Roshar.{{ref|text=[[The Way of Kings#Cover Synopsis|''The Way of Kings'' cover synopsis]]}}{{ref|text=[[Words of Radiance#Cover Synopsis|''Words of Radiance'' cover synopsis]]}}{{ref|text=[[Oathbringer#Cover Synopsis|''Oathbringer'' cover synopsis]]}}{{book ref|sa3.5|18}} Arclo believes that [[Lift]] should also be included in that group, and that the other Sleepless should not ignore her.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} Arclo is also aware that the [[Stump]] is a Radiant{{book ref|sa2.5|16}} and that [[Nale]] is alive, referring to him as a "madman".{{book ref|sa2.5|18}}▼

Dysian Aimians appear to be guarding several secrets from humans, including something that Dalinar seeks but "must not know".{{ref|text=[[Oathbringer#Cover Synopsis|''Oathbringer'' cover synopsis]]}} An unnamed Sleepless learns of [[Vazrmeb]]'s plan to sail the ship ''[[First Dreams]]'' to [[Akinah]] in Aimia; she poses as a [[Reshi]] cook and joins the crew, later poisoning everyone else on board to protect the island.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} She refuses to divulge any of Akinah's secrets to [[Kaza]] even as she is dying, telling her that doing so could result in the "ends of worlds".{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}▼

The Dysian Aimians were forced into conflict with humans again due to Radiant interest in the city of Akinah. Although they had managed to dissuade early patrols of Windrunners from surveying the island using specialized larkin hybrid hordelings, their vehemence in protecting the island only attracted more attention to it.{{book ref|sa3.5|2}}▼

After Queen Navani commissioned Rysn's ship, the Wandersail, to investigate the oddities, the Sleepless were forced into steadily more aggressive confrontations with the ship's crew. These engagements resulted in the unmasking of one of their agents, [[Nikliasorm]], fatally compromising the security of their entire operation.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}}▼
