Sleepy Panda | Original Illustration

Hey guys!!

I wanna share with you this Panda, who had just a bit too much Bamboo than she could handle :) I drew her as my own eyes started to give up and barely let me finish this as i've been staying up just that bit too long...again!

i tried a different style that i love to use to not get stuck in one way of drawing :)

It's weird what happens as you get more and more tired. First the feeling is just lurking there, you can notice it a bit but it's more like a suggestion rather than a demand. If you keep on waiting, it starts to pull you in more and more, until you're forced to finally let your system rest.

I've been trying quite a few sleeping experiments over the past years, and one interesting thing i've noticed (and later found evidence for through research) is that the more i rest during the day, the less sleep i need.
Rest is stuff like meditation, for example. It re-energizes you so much that you can even reduce the total amount of sleep you require.

It can allow you to get away with a regular sleeping pattern of 4 hours each day, without suffering any sleep deprivation symptoms. In order to be able to do this, you need to be a longterm meditator, and spend (in our time perception) a lot of time on it each day.

When i found out about this i was amazed, since if you sleep 8 hours each day, which is very common, you sleep away about half of your life. Yet with this practice, you could get so much more awake life you could use to grow.

I'm still working on this, yet i've already noticed a big difference already on days where i meditate at least half an hour, compared to those that i do the bare minimum meditation.

Will keep you posted as i test this out further! But for now, i hope you enjoy my picture!! Until next time :)
