28 – SLEEP IS KEY

So Free Art Podcast Episode 28 - Sleep is Key, Never Sacrifice Sleep and don't Assume when Learning Art , with Transgender Artist Sophie Lawson

*Sleepyhead Mode Activated* Everything is Linked to Sleep … I realised that this week, after a sudden change in jobs resulted in my sleep routine going out the window; it really showed how SLEEP IS KEY.

NEVER SACRIFICE SLEEP, I’ve always believed that, but now I know how important that lil quote really is. There wasn’t much dreaming going on this week either … messing up the sleep routine even affected the dream realm.

As lilSOPHiE would say, eek lol
