Writing something, how would you describe his sleeping “expression”?

  In a single word? I’d probably go with “vacant”

  Except for being literate and able to write, presidential.

  That’s a tough one because there isn’t an expression there at all, it’s almost completely “blank” or neutral. There isn’t anything that would hint towards enjoyment to say it’s peaceful or even calm. It seems almost like a deep sleep, I might even describe it as “a sleep so deep they were devoid of expression.”

    This would be a light snore, right??

    “A light snore escaped him. He was in a sleep so deep he was completely devoid of expression.”

      Yeah that sounds pretty light lol

      I’m definitely not a writer, but “Fallen into a deep sleep, his face expressionless, a light snore escaped (escapes?) him” sounds nice to me.

      I envy your confidence in writing! Every time I tried I get like 2 sentences down and immediately think “who the fuck am I to be writing something thinking anyone should even care to read this?” Lol
