Hannah's comics started off and continue to be a visual diary of her life. In her interview with Forbes, the artist mentioned that she comes from an artistic family and all those creative examples had an impact on her life, pursuing a career as an artist. "Watching others create makes creating less daunting."
its cause your already stimulated so it cancels out
Load More Replies...Caffeine right before I need to sleep: "Here, all the energy and awakness in your system that you could ever need!" Caffeine on a monday morning before school/work: Your on your own, mate.
There is a mix of stuff here: 1. If you are already too tired more caffeine will most likely not work anymore. As the way caffeine works is that it blocks the receptors that make you sleepy for a while. If these are already filled in, no use. 2. If you repeatedly consume caffeine, your brain will get used to it (building more receptors so the caffeine won’t block em all) and you either need more caffeine or at some point it won’t affect you as much anymore. 3. General tiredness might still overwhelm you at times.
This is basically what adhd does to me. Caffeine as a sleeping drug, amphetamines to relax.
Yep if I try energy drinks I go straight to the crash. And skip the energy.
That's adrenal exhaustion y'all. Go to a Chinese herbalist homeopathic doctor some herb shop to get yourself fixed
Someone asked me one day when purchasing so those energy drinks work. And I was like yeah as long as I keep moving.
I can drink a soft drink and then be asleep in 15 minutes...both a wonderful advantage and terrible disadvantage, all at the same time.
Caffeine has that effect on me, but then I also have ADHD. This is why many people with ADHD have to take a stimulant to concentrate and stay calm.
My wife has non 24 and is like this with anything that has taurine or caffeine
same, caffeine never had any effect on me whatsoever.. I can drink two strong coffees right before bed and still sleep perfectly
Funny story, I read something a while ago that said caffeine like 30m-1hr before bed will keep you up, but if you have any right as you go to sleep you can actually sleep better. I haven't done any looking into that though.

The artist has been drawing since she was little. She remembers sitting by a big wooden desk in front of a window at her grandma's house and drawing with her dad or his sisters.
Hannah's Instagram journey began in 2014 when she started posting a drawing every day. In 2016 she started uploading her first 4-panel comics. "It was grueling and included a lot of late nights and a carpal tunnel diagnosis, but I saw it through and it was ultimately one of the best things I could have done. I gained a lot of confidence in myself and my humor, and started seeing what I did as something legitimate."
This is why I had mine reduced when I was 16 years old. It was so embarrassing gym class when I had to do jumping jacks. I could only do them with one hand while my other hand held my boobs down. I was a size K cup, unbelievably hard to find and expensive! If you've been thinking about it ladies I certainly recommend it. It's so much better on my back and I can actually find clothes that fit.
Hannah likes drawing comics and loves it when they make people laugh. For her, it's kind of like a diary illustrating some parts of her life that other people can relate to as well. "What I’ve learned from putting it all out there is that I’m far less strange and alone than I thought I was and that we’re all struggling constantly and we can find a solace knowing that everything is absurd but that we’re in it together."
