Most nights I jolt myself awake with inspiration.
When the room is dark, everything is quiet, and I am juuusssttt about to fall asleep*, an image, a design, or a color pops into my mind and wakes me right up.
I used to tell myself to just go to sleep because “I’d remember them”, but I never did. So now I jot notes and scribbles on my phone when I’m half asleep. (About 60% of the time I can even understand them! 😆)
*Apparently this state is called hypnagogia. The more you know!
