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 is actually decent advice
Indeed. Optimal sleep and low stress will not only make hormones more favorable to burning fat but also to appetite regulation.
Tired people overeat in a way rested people do not.
Not to mention the massive benefits they provide to muscle generation and overall fitness. You can lift every day but if you don't sleep, recover and eat enough protein it ain't going to bring results.
Absolutely. You know what you do in your sleep? Rest, rebuild muscle, and not eat.
The vast majority of calories being used by our bodies is spent just existing. Big ape brains use a lot of em.
More sleep, less eating, shed them calories.

You also exhale CO2, which is the primary way we lose weight. Burned fat mostly comes out as water and CO2.
Definitely. Now, if there weren't insomnia...
THC 5mg
Melatonin
THC hinders REM sleep. Melatonin supplementation negatively impacts Melatonin production of the body.
No, I think getting the everyday stress level down and finding room for workout again is the solution but it's not easy.
Super small sample but most people in my family, like all but three, have suffered from insomnia. The majority went to the doctor and got pills or self medicated with alcohol and weed. Their lives get worse and worse. They still suffer from insomnia. A few of us changed our lives until the insomnia subsided. I got a divorce, my brother changed jobs, my aunt moved to a different state. Our insomnia went away and were are all better for the changes we made after the initial difficulties.
Drawing out an intolerable situation is harder than changing it in the long run. Sounds like you agree. More power to you and good luck.
