Why Can’t We Sleep?
A series of illustrations about the struggle to fall asleep and how we are contributing to why we can’t; created as the 1st place reward for the SPD-U competition. Developed with mentor Katty Huertas.

The first opening illustration shows multiple ways people can’t sleep through, what I like to call, the little blue guys.
The second coincides with the “Life Gets in the Way” header by showing a fence blocking a sleep deprived person from Dreamland due to the mistakes they made that can be seen as signs on the fence.
The third shows off the “The Whole World is Uncomfy” header by showing Earth in the back with bags under it’s eyes and a jealous expression while watching the astronaut who is finally able to sleep now that she is not on Earth’s soil.
The last spread showcases different facts through the little blue guys that are reenacting what the paragraphs are talking about.
