'''Insomniagender''' is a [[mutogender]] that isn't felt at times due to symptoms of insomnia. One might experience a [[Aegogender|disconnect]] from their gender, or they might feel as though their gender is [[Dispargender|lost]]. The term is exclusive to those with chronic insomnia and/or those with a form of [[Neurodivergent|neurodivergence]] that involves insomnia as a lasting symptom. Therefore, it can be considered a [[neurogender]].

==History==
The term was coined by Tumblr user synpa-tee on July 29, 2021. The flag was created by the same user on the same day.<ref>[https://synpa-tee.tumblr.com/post/658032058540687360/insomniagender Insomniagender coining]</ref>
==Flag==
The insomniagender flag has seven stripes: four black stripes, two yellow stripes, and one blue stripe. There are stripes of different sizes in order to represent irregular sleep. Black represents a lack of gender, nighttime, and being asleep. Yellow represents non-binary genders, daytime, and being awake. And blue represents drowsiness, fatigue, and depression. The use of both yellow and blue represent changes in mood and/or mood swings.
The alternate flag was created by Tumblr user synpa-tee on October 3, 2021.<ref>[https://synpa-tee.tumblr.com/post/664063709930520576/insomniagender-flags Alternate flag creation]</ref> It has five stripes: two blue stripes, two green stripes, and one yellow stripe. The blue stripes represent periods of tiredness, exhaustion, depression, etc. The yellow stripe represents periods of wakefulness, happiness, and being highly energised. The fact that there are fewer yellow stripes also represents that with insomnia, one typically experiences these periods less often. The green stripes represent the inbetween, with the darker green leaning more towards tiredness and the lighter green leaning more towards wakefulness. They represent contentedness, mild fatigue, lack of energy, etc. Just like in the original flag, the use of both yellow and blue represent changes in mood and/or mood swings.
