In a world of elaborate skincare routines, winding-down playlists, and pre-sleep meditation apps, cartoonist Stephen Collins offers a simpler vision: the pure, unadulterated joy of collapsing into bed without any ceremony.
His latest cartoon, published in the Guardian, celebrates those rare, uncomplicated souls who bypass the nightly faff—no teeth-brushing debates, no outfit decisions, no final scroll through social media. They simply go to bed, and there is something quietly heroic about that.
Collins' signature style—wry, observational, and gently absurd—captures a universal truth: sometimes the greatest luxury is doing nothing at all.
