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.

MODERATORS
It's weird this has been edited. And it's especially scummy that the author's signature has been scrubbed off it. Cmon, @cm0002@lemmy.world, 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!
Is this loss?
I am in panel four now.
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?
I find reading a book or writing a diary entry works well during this "sleep runway" period.
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!"
It's a vicious circle.
Protip: the last 2 panels are related.
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]
U rite

Hi tired, I am dad.
Source?
Wow, post was edited because someone found the proper source.
Too close to home, i don't like it!
Tired and sleepy are two different things.
Should have put the sleepy hat on themselves, not the teddy. Froggo had none to blame but itself.
I work at a factory. Sleep well since started. 12 hours shifts.
