Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This is all well and good for people who can fall sleep right away, a 20 minute nap would mean an hour alarm since it would take 40 minutes before there is a possibility of napping.

Everyone is different though.

I will eternally be jealous of people who can fall asleep immediately and/or nap. Just falling asleep is like a 30-40 minute endeavour on a good day :(

True that everyone is different, but out of curiosity have you tried a 20 minute catnap before? What was it like?

A lot of folks don't really get to sleep in a proper sense when taking this short of a nap, but even though they're still conscious they reap the energy benefits from the rest - more so than taking a more traditional break.

Yes, and sometimes I can nap, other times I just “rest my eyes” for about an hour.

I have ADHD, so for me my mind just wanders, even if I’m tired. If I can focus my mind and have it wander on a single thought it seems to be easier to doze off though.
