[The Journey of Fragmented Echoes] Creating the Collection

Why Creativity Needs Darkness

There are plenty of people who believe night owls like me need to “fix” our sleep habits, as if those quiet, dark hours don’t count, or as if we’re missing out by "choosing" night over day. But I wonder, what if nighttime is actually when we’re closest to our true selves?
