A PSA from your fellow writer.

No human being should try to function off of 3-4 hours of sleep every night.

That being said, that whole 8 hour thing sounds like a bunch of baloney to me. A solid 5 sounds about safe.

But as a writer, you don't require sleep. Congratulations, you've achieved god status.

Creative people, (like yourself, reader) function purely off of an amalgamation of tangible and intangible things. For example:

Cats:

Lack of a social life:

Nonlethal electric shocks:

Food found in the couch cushions:

Terrible roomies:

And other things that I don't know about?

 Whatever keeps you going, do it. Even drugs. I mean, lots of great writers do it. Shakespeare had to have been pretty stoned to have written A Midsummer Night's Dream. Like, come on. Let's be real here.

Jk don't do drugs I don't think I'm technically allowed to endorse that.

Idk guys. I'm tired. I'm running on fumes here.
