Just realized my charcoal drawings look better when I'm half asleep

I was at the 24-hour diner downtown last night doodling on a napkin at 2am and somehow the messy lines and smudges actually looked intentional. Has anyone else noticed their worst art comes out more expressive when you're too tired to overthink every stroke?

Wait, is this a real thing? Cause I swear my best sketches happen at like 3am when I'm barely awake. I'll look at them in the morning and actually be surprised they didn't turn out terrible.

My buddy drew a masterpiece half-asleep then dropped coffee on it the next day.
