Impress them with your love-making then impress them with your law-making.

#what the fuck was wrong with thomas jefferson honestly

Wait for real I’ve been to Monticello and he didn’t sleep laying down, HE SLEPT SITTING UP and would just casually sit on his ass with his legs out in front of him and fall asleep. He purposely custom made his bed too short for his body to fully lie down. Oh and the second he woke up he would jump out of bed and write down the temperature because he was fucking insane.

also the reasons there are dark stains on the floor is because he submerged his feet in ice water every morning since he thought it would prevent illness (and there’s a real reason for sleeping upright: due to the sorts of foods people ate he slept upright to help with indigestion!)
