Spot. On. You've nailed it, Dr Park, and your final observation is brilliant. I'm not sure what kind of impact these insights have for creative types, but as a professional actor, I have been astonished at how my mood and creativity have changed now that I am treating my sleep disorders. As my sleep improves I feel better and better, but at the same time less creative and less 'driven' to create. But I really don't mind because I feel so much better overall. For so long my creativity has been an outlet for my stress and tension, and now that those feelings are abating, it seems a small loss to lose some of my creative spark. Absolutely.
