Even though I made a “bonjour” video on Instagram at 5 am, I have been awake since 2 am. The air is hot and dry (good conditions for a daily nosebleed), but that’s not why I can’t sleep as much as I should.

One can study or work on the computer the entire day and lie down at night tired as hell, and yet it won’t matter how sleepy the person is, because the sedentarism that this way of living brings will deprive its adepts from a good night’s rest, with worries like the next month’s bills or regrets because of the excess of sugar in the food.

Maybe in bed ideas will come up for interesting projects, and there you may also think of an exercise routine to keep your body moving (and finally sleep well at night) and at homemade gadgets for the new lifestyle you want but that we both know that you won’t be able to maintain - your pillow is the ultimate playground for your paranoia.
