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.

When I have a rough day or don't sleep well the night before, I take a 30 minute 'nap' when I get home after work. It's strictly 30 minutes.

It doesn't matter if I fall asleep or not, it's a strict 30 minute limit. I set a timer and I stand up when it rings. This lets me turn an otherwise completely wasted evening into something salvageable. Then, I can have a regularly active evening - I cook, play games, paint, whatever.

I don't really have trouble falling asleep after that at the regular time, or maybe an hour late. I do struggle sometimes to 'boot up' after the nap, and it doesn't always help (mostly when I don't actually fall asleep) but it has worked for me more times than not.

Also, I drink a LOT of coffee - way too much. This is what works for me.

It takes about 45 min to hit REM sleep. Which is the point that you'd wake up MORE tired.

30 min max is key for naps

Came here to post the same advice. 30 minutes... Absolute max.
