This goes against all sleep advice and yet it is lovely how it works for you.

I love everything about this. Especially the messy hair. I routinely paint in my pajamas. It’s key to my process.

I do all my writing in bed too. But I do not have a bedside espresso maker, an oversight which should be remedied at once. I can't believe I never thought of such a convenience. Thanks for the inspiration!

One thing is missing in your bed table: a capybara. You might need a bigger bed table (or apartment) though.

Thank you for keeping it real! So many successful writers create the—likely false, or at least exaggerated—impression that they’re sitting around in overstuffed leather chairs surrounded by antique books, smoking a pipe and stroking their bearded chin as they ponder deep thoughts. That’s not how I or anyone I know writes!

Don't forget, bed essential for napping, the one required daily exercise.
