I feel like kids (and adults) should be educated about sleep pressure and the principle of honoring your sleep needs. Maybe then people would stop being so influenced by the "grindset" culture that expects people to ignore their bodies normal signals for sleep...and it could grow some empathy as people might just be able to understand that that counter is very much different for every person.

Others have ungodly amount of energy and they keep going and need very little sleep. While others are pushing through life with the power of caffeine due to chronic lack of sleep... And then there's us who were born with sleep pressure counters that never properly reset.

Those who don't live with this can never truly understand it, but I hope this comic could enlighten some people - or just give some comfort to those of us who experience this. You are not alone with it. There are others just like you.
Try to connect with them, and be seen.

Also, if possible to you, leave those behind who refuse to listen and learn. Life will be so much less stressful if you do - and stress is a big thing what comes to energy levels. Constant stress makes IH worse.

And to my faithful readers: I am so sorry this comic took me 2 weeks to finish. I create commission pieces to pay the bills (mainly my medical debt that takes 80% of my monthly income from this, which sounds a lot but...it is all relative.) and I got swamped. I will be back at it now while I also finish the comic book.
Thank you for your patience, I truly appreciate all of you!

Please wear a good mask (N95/FFP2) out there if you can to not get sick and to protect others (also while marching in the cold it is good safety gear).

And uh, I'll see you again!

Sincerely: Milo
