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

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

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!

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!

Edith Wharton, who was ill much of the time but also readable (unlike Proust), wrote most of her books in bed. So there are illustrious precedents for such behavior.

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