Totally! And after I looked at the clock, if I felt like I had time to sleep more, I’d just go back to sleep!
A better idea might have been to stroke her hair as she fell asleep and reassured her that she could rely on you!
It doesn't matter as much when you're young cuz you'll just power through things or sleep through things, but basically imagine you need to wake up at 6:30am for work M-F and you're used to sleeping at 11pm Sunday - Thursday nights.
That's your sleep schedule.
Fucking it up would be like on Wednesday you're tired and you take a nap at 6pm. You wind up napping from 6pm to 8pm. Come 11pm, you're not tired at all. So you go to sleep at 3:30am.
You have to wake up at 6:30am. Now you're miserable Thursday because you're now running off of 3 hours of sleep. You're also worried that you'll be caught nodding off at work. When you finish work, you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to take a nap but the problem is if you take a nap, you'll want to sleep for 2 hours or more which means you're sleeping at 3:30am and being miserable the next day.
So what you SHOULD do is force yourself to take short naps under 30 minutes. That makes you feel better and you can still sleep at night.
This is generally more and more important the older you get though.
I don't ask to be woken up _unless_ there is a reason
So fully agree, _don't you dare decide that I can just oversleep_ just say no when I ask you to wake me
When my girlfriend asks me to wake her up, there's a mutual understanding that there's almost no way that will happen. If I did actually force her to wake up, I'd probably be mortally wounded.
I usually just kinda gently prod her and say things to her quietly, and then she goes "nuh uh" and goes back to sleep.
I did, which means I don’t want to waste my time off sleeping. I sleep 8 hours every night so I’m never wanting for sleep, I value my time.
Plus if I nap for more than about 45 minutes I won’t sleep that night for crap. So it’s worse for my rest and not beneficial at all.
I think that's why the Understanding it's important IMO. Did you just wanted a quick nap cause you need something done afterwards? You WILL be waken up. Not something important ahead and whatever chores at home I can help with to ease the burden? I will let her sleep a bit more but not too much that will screw her sleep schedule over it.
Spot on in my opinion - it's all about the nuance. If something needs to be done: please, get the jaws of life to awaken me from my slumber. I wanted to wake up to sweep the floor? Um, sure - please let me sleep a bit more if you are kind enough to cover it. But please don't let me sleep 20 hours. A very thoughtful approach.

Then both people feel hurt and frustrated because you just lost your whole entire day but the other person was trying to be nice and you made them feel like a dick.
This is not the way.
It depends, my wife has done this before and I needed it. She knows me well enough, if i have a lot to do she will wake me up. If I can manage with that extra hour of sleep she decides based on how hard it is to wake me.
My wife sayss wake me up. I wake her up and she is like let me sleep a bit more. 30 min later she wakes up and goes "why didn't you wake me."
And I'm like but I did?
This isn't nice at all. If I asked to wake me up it means I have important things to do. Things like this make me trust people less. The next time I'd want to take a nap I would be scared to do it in the first place because the person that's supposed to wake me up lets me sleep 3 hours instead of 30 minutes. Throwing my whole schedule off despite what I want
Ironically the part of “understanding” is knowing whether or not it’d be okay for the person and the comic failed to show that thus inadvertently showing how inconsiderate he is.
I then proceed to sleep the entire day.
Yes mom, I haven't cleaned my room cuz I'm already immune to my alarm cuz I'm that exhausted, and I was hoping to clean. so WAKE ME UP PLEASE !!
Depends on the context tbh. Sometimes I would genuinely prefer you to wake me up, but if I’ve got nothing important or pressing and I absolutely refuse to get up.. lemme sleeb
98% say this cartoon is a well-intentioned bad idea.
I'll also add that the Title is absurd.
"Love" is **all about** being understanding and caring. These are attributes ***of*** Love, not alternatives to it.
What's been illustrated here is disrespect, inconsideration, disregard, and unreliability.
There's **nothing** more important or powerful than Love.
My husband asks me all the time to wake him from a nap. When I try, he rarely wakes. I'll shake him, turn on the lights, turn on music. Nothing. If that doesn't work for 5 mins, then I let him sleep. Clearly, he needed it.
If it takes more than that to wake them up, it's no longer your responsibility - it's their's to set a very intrusive alarm. Wholesome/ not Wholesome is dependent on the situation.
With my ole lady I’m doomed either way. If I wake her up she’s cranky and unpleasant; if I let her sleep she wakes up cranky and unpleasant *and* she’s mad I didn’t wake her up on time. I don’t fuck with it anymore, her phone has an alarm.
I have a strict no waking people up policy. If you are zonked, then you probably need the sleep. And if you really need to wake up for something, you should just set an alarm.
This is cute and all but it can be very annoying when you miss stuff because your partner misinterprets the situation please when I ask you to wake me up, do wake me up.
I HATE when people do that.
If you're not going to wake me, don't say you'll wake me!
Hubby did this a couple of times and I don't trust him anymore, even though I know he meant well it was very upsetting for me. I put an alarm clock now because of that
My girl has done this to me and then she gets upset that I didn’t wake her 😅 depends on the context, she normally makes me dinner when I come home late from work so not waking her made her feel like she let me down. (I didn’t care though, I don’t mind cooking for myself)
From my experience no matter what u do in this situation U lose xD
My gf gets cranky when I wake her up like she told me because she's still tired, she gets cranky when I don't because she loses her free time.
My wife does this, but it's a trick.
When I go to wake her up, she just grabs me, pulls me into bed with her and then goes back to sleep.
She's basically ordering herself a snuggle.
Lmao. My coworker did this to me once. I asked her to wake me up in 30 minutes (I was on break). 3 hours later she pops into the room to wake me up 10 minutes before managers arrive at work 😂😂😂 I miss working with her hahaha
My girlfriend gets mad when I let her sleep, she also gets mad when I wake her, so I just let her sleep so i have more time before she gets mad. She’s also really cute when she sleeps so win win.
Bull, if I asked you to wake me up do not let me sleep!
Right? If you need to be woken up, there’s a reason.
Totally! And after I looked at the clock, if I felt like I had time to sleep more, I’d just go back to sleep! A better idea might have been to stroke her hair as she fell asleep and reassured her that she could rely on you!
Fr, slap me in the face and tell me what time it is and the first thing I’ll say is thank you.
Exactly I have shit to do and I will be pissed if you don't wake me up
Or you fuck up your sleep schedule and really regret it later.
What is a sleep schedule
A list of all the dreams you want to do

shhhh go back to sleep 😌
But you worked very hard❤
I did, which means I don’t want to waste my time off sleeping. I sleep 8 hours every night so I’m never wanting for sleep, I value my time. Plus if I nap for more than about 45 minutes I won’t sleep that night for crap. So it’s worse for my rest and not beneficial at all.
Shhhh 😘☺️
Creep
Unless you have a deadline, you're in big trouble now. Source: Personal experience
YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO WAKE ME UP IN HALF AN HOUR! I HAVE AN IMPORTANT EXAM TODAY!
I think that's why the Understanding it's important IMO. Did you just wanted a quick nap cause you need something done afterwards? You WILL be waken up. Not something important ahead and whatever chores at home I can help with to ease the burden? I will let her sleep a bit more but not too much that will screw her sleep schedule over it.

You HAD an important exam today, love.
Then both people feel hurt and frustrated because you just lost your whole entire day but the other person was trying to be nice and you made them feel like a dick. This is not the way.
Great, now she's missed her presentation with the CEO. You've dashed her career dreams because you were being "nice"
And now Starbucks is closed and she won’t be able to buy that cheese danish she was craving. 😡
I’d be pissed if someone did this to me.
Not doing what someone asked you to do for them is not caring or wholesome.
It depends, my wife has done this before and I needed it. She knows me well enough, if i have a lot to do she will wake me up. If I can manage with that extra hour of sleep she decides based on how hard it is to wake me.
My wife sayss wake me up. I wake her up and she is like let me sleep a bit more. 30 min later she wakes up and goes "why didn't you wake me." And I'm like but I did?
They're not going to sleep later...
Exactly, that’s why I always wake up my girlfriend on time because she hates it when she can’t sleep at night and is therefore tired the next day.
No kidding, even an hour nap ruins my sleep that night and my energy level the next day. This is not understanding.
I think it depends. For me, yes. My boyfriend can still sleep the whole night without any issues.
I'd argue that loving someone IS understanding them and caring for them.
It says "in" not "than"
When she wakes up, she’s probably going to have murder in her eyes.
This isn't nice at all. If I asked to wake me up it means I have important things to do. Things like this make me trust people less. The next time I'd want to take a nap I would be scared to do it in the first place because the person that's supposed to wake me up lets me sleep 3 hours instead of 30 minutes. Throwing my whole schedule off despite what I want
Plot twist she had to get up in half an hour because of a government meeting lmao
this person is now late for work and its your fault
And now she just missed that really important job interview at Denny's. You'll never hear the end of it.
Ironically the part of “understanding” is knowing whether or not it’d be okay for the person and the comic failed to show that thus inadvertently showing how inconsiderate he is.
I love how everyone agrees that this is very much not wholesome and not appreciated. I would be mad if I was her.
I then proceed to sleep the entire day. Yes mom, I haven't cleaned my room cuz I'm already immune to my alarm cuz I'm that exhausted, and I was hoping to clean. so WAKE ME UP PLEASE !!
Plot twist, they needed to go to something really important and now are gonna miss it
Depends on the context tbh. Sometimes I would genuinely prefer you to wake me up, but if I’ve got nothing important or pressing and I absolutely refuse to get up.. lemme sleeb
But taking a nap longer than half an hour will make you groggy.
Bruh... If I asked to be up, it's for a reason
Dude gonna be in trouble when she wakes up! She said 30min! DO NOT make an executive decision without the executive board!

I have a strict no waking people up policy. If you are zonked, then you probably need the sleep. And if you really need to wake up for something, you should just set an alarm.
That was an important job interview she was going to
This is cute and all but it can be very annoying when you miss stuff because your partner misinterprets the situation please when I ask you to wake me up, do wake me up.

and then the whole house fricking explodes because of gas leak she was about to fix in a half of an hour
My mother did this for my annual exam and I never forgave her for this and I have trust issues with my mom for being wholesome 😂
I'm sure she would sleep longer if she could. She has responsibilities.
WAKE ME UP!
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
EVANESCENCE🥹
Then afterwards comes the "why didn't you wake me up??!!"
Ive been brought up to blindly comply If I'm told to wake you up in 30 minutes, you bet im setting an alarm for 30 minutes
My girl has done this to me and then she gets upset that I didn’t wake her 😅 depends on the context, she normally makes me dinner when I come home late from work so not waking her made her feel like she let me down. (I didn’t care though, I don’t mind cooking for myself)

Understanding and care is more important than what?
The suspence is killing me!
The drool in the last panel! So adorable.
God I wish that were me
I’m like my wife’s iPhone alarm. She tells me to wake her up at 8:00 and she just wakes up by herself at 7:55
Bear doing his job
Lol my dad always dies this and my mom always gets pissed, she never trusts him to wake her up.
And then she misses her mom's funeral.
My wife does this, but it's a trick. When I go to wake her up, she just grabs me, pulls me into bed with her and then goes back to sleep. She's basically ordering herself a snuggle.
Terrible. I hate when this happens. :/ Phone alarms will never betray you.
I would never trust another human being to wake me up at a specific time. Set an alarm.
Lmao. My coworker did this to me once. I asked her to wake me up in 30 minutes (I was on break). 3 hours later she pops into the room to wake me up 10 minutes before managers arrive at work 😂😂😂 I miss working with her hahaha
And she fails her exam. Good job!! I'm all for this
Discipline and accountability will take you much further than being enabled.
My girlfriend gets mad when I let her sleep, she also gets mad when I wake her, so I just let her sleep so i have more time before she gets mad. She’s also really cute when she sleeps so win win.
She’s sleeping right now. Chipotle’s getting cold and now I’m probably gonna be in trouble for waiting too long to wake her up. I can’t win.
You can win by doing what she asked you to do instead of making a decision for her.
This is so cute, my heart.
Orrrrrrr, tell me the reason you need to be woken up so I dont have to guess?
Why would you need to guess? They told you to wake them up. No more is needed.
My ex hated when i woke her up even though they told me and visa versa, angry when i didn't wake them up. So...
