Do you have dreams of being that writer who never sleeps, glass of whisky half-full, using a worn journal as a coaster while staring wistfully at the moon? Oh, you do? Well throw 'em out the window! Your body and mind need rest. In this episode Kathleen explains why writers (and Lebron James) depend on rest to succeed and generally just be functioning people. Don't worry, this theory is backed by light science.
