The City That Never Sleeps?

For my collage theme, I’ve decided to do it on the city that doesn’t sleep, New York City. Personally, I am ALWAYS tired and that’s pretty much the reason I decided to do this topic. Most days going to school in the morning, I sleep on the train. Most days going home, I sleep on the train. Some days when I get home, I take a nap. I love sleep. You can almost say that my hobby is sleeping and I know I’m not the only one. I always see other people sleeping on trains, on buses, even on the street. You can walk through Madison Square Park right outside of school and see people laying in the grass sleeping. Everyone sleeps obviously but I want to capture the moments that don’t just happen between the hours 11pm-8am in our own cozy beds. I want to be able to capture the moments where people just happen to fall asleep, whether it be on the floor of a living room, or a bench in a park.

I would like to capture the city’s tiredness and include it in a collage. I want to point out all the naps and rests that the city that “doesn’t sleep” has to offer.

This is good observation. I never really thought about it, but it’s true. New York, “The city that never sleeps,” is notorious for people sleeping. Whether its on buses, subways, at work, and many other places. Great topic
