A Dose Of Art For The Art Of Dozing Off

It’s the last week of November, which is also the last week of National Sleep Comfort Awareness Month.



If you’ve been getting good rest, good for you, keep it up!



If not, well, maybe you need a change of mattress? Or maybe a dose of art works of people sleeping that may seem soothing and serene enough for you to doze off.



Here’s some advice from art pieces on The Bazaar to help you fall asleep:
