Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.

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

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

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