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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I had something similar happen to me once, but I didn't wake up until maybe 8 or 9 PM. It was summer-ish so it was dusky out, and I was super convinced I must've slept all night and that it was morning, even though the sun would have been up well before 8 or 9 in the morning at that time of year. I wasn't rushing to get ready for school or anything but I argued quite adamantly that it must be morning to my whole family who, unlike I, were actually aware of what time of day it was.
My mom did something like that once on a Friday evening. She took a nap after work, and woke up around 7:30-8pm. My brother and I were on the couch watching Stargate SG-1, and she comes barreling down the hall yelling at us for letting her oversleep and missing doing payroll for her work. She just wouldn’t believe us when we said it was Friday night, and we even tried explaining that we couldn’t be watching Stargate if it were Saturday morning (this was pre-streaming era). It was hilarious.
Sometimes, it’s really obvious that different parts of our brains don’t all wake up at the same time. The deep, inner parts wake up first, but the frontal cortex that enables critical thinking? It can take a few minutes to boot up.
