It's weird this has been edited. And it's especially scummy that the author's signature has been scrubbed off it. Cmon, @[email protected], you can do better than spreading comics with the author removed.

Here's the original

Lol it was a .ml crosspost after all, I have broken the crosspost link to put in the proper comic link

We need to bump this up to the top, thanks for the heads up!

I don't have the problem of the fourth panel. I'm tired all day and then sleep like a fucking log but I'm still tired all day. I think my job is just mentally taxing.

This isn't a one size fits all suggestion, but it's commonly helpful for a period of no activity to precede you attempting to sleep.

Take an hour before you are going to bed to be doing relatively nothing. No TV, no books, no games. Snuggle with a pet, lounge in the living room and look outside.

I listen to ambient nature noise (thunderstorms are a favorite) with noise-canceling headphones while laying in bed.

Still technically electronics, but it doesn't require any active attention, so it does a great job at transitioning my brain to a state where falling asleep is easy, while still being stimulated enough in the meantime to avoid being restless/bored.

ain't nobody got time for that

Right, so, here's my quick hack on my youtube channel for how to get an hour of rest prep time in 10 minutes:

  • First, grab a monster energy drink.
  • Chug that fucker.
  • Using your sped up cognition, focus really hard on not having any activities.
  • Your brain should be firing neurons roughly 6-7x faster now, so you can probably get like an hour of intense no activity focus before you sleep, in just 5-10 minutes now.
  • Go to sleep
  • Vibrate

These "hours", where can you purchase them in their most fast-acting formula?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

I find reading a book or writing a diary entry works well during this "sleep runway" period.

Is this loss?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

My brain: I only slept 4 hours, and can barely keep going.
Also my brain: It’s midnight so time to think about dumb things I did back in high school.

I still have flashbacks to this time i introduced myself to a friend of a friend who turned out to be a friend of mine i didn't recognize after 5 years.

My mind tends to go back to the torture articles on Wikipedia and rough scenes from movies, like "Imagine being tied to a wheel and all your bones broken with clubs like they used to do in the middle ages." And "How about that bit in Galveston where they tortured the dude and raped his friend to death. That was a bummer!"

I am in panel four now.

It's a vicious circle.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Protip: the last 2 panels are related.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

The two right panels are more related tbh

ETA:

Women, students, and "night owls" (later chronotypes) are most likely to experience bedtime procrastination.[23][24] People with high daytime stress levels are more prone to bedtime procrastination.[2]

Source?

Wow, post was edited because someone found the proper source.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Too close to home, i don't like it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Tired and sleepy are two different things.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Should have put the sleepy hat on themselves, not the teddy. Froggo had none to blame but itself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I work at a factory. Sleep well since started. 12 hours shifts.
