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.

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