Liminal Sleep-Wake States for Creativity
Spend time in the hypnagogic or hypnopompic transition between sleep and waking, when the mind is loose, associative, and less constrained by ordinary filtering. Use that window to capture ideas, journal, or intentionally reflect on a problem, because this liminal state can surface novel connections and support creative insight.
