That was my immediate thought too. Stay up really late each night, then go back in time, get a good nights sleep…. then I realised that I’d be kept awake by the earlier staying-up-late-myself who is either watching TV, using loud tools, or playing music all night. So it wouldn’t work…
I thought it might get one because the e in ‘hes’ looks like it needs to be pronounced like the one in ‘less’. Apparently, not the case, at least according to dictionary.com. But I’m not convinced and I will keep searching. Until I find something solid, of course, please ignore me :'(
could you go back further to get the good night sleep

Bug Martini is mentioned in this interview as having good writing, and I agree: http://fanboycomics.net/index.php/interviews/comics/item/3439-fanboy-comics-interviews-stripped-creators-dave-kellett-and-frederick-schroeder
Sa-weet! Thanks for the link!
I used to watch Quantum Leap. I even had some of the action figures. That’s right, there were Quantum Leap action figures.
I didn’t know that. I must have them!
I always said if we could invent the time compression machine (30 seconds turned into 30 minutes, etc.) I’d use that time to get extra sleep.
Why stop at 10 minutes? You could go back an entire week and get a week’s vacation.
Well, you try and be that bright when you don’t even want to be awake.
Unrelated: perhaps a period after ‘unhelpful version of Quantum Leap’ (*gigglesnort*) and an apostrophe in ‘mes’ in panel 2?
“Mes” doesn’t need a apostrophe because it isn’t possessive. I agree with the period one, though

Yep. Period, but no apostrophe. Plural forms don’t use apostrophes.
Quantum Leap was such a good show. Gonna need to check Netflix now.
“Oops” to the former.
“Nope” to the latter.
Just jump between two universes: the one where you already left for work, and the one where you just jumped to the former.
Also, I LOVE this comic. You, sir, are a true delight.
Thanks!
Alternatively, sleep -way- the heck in, then when you’re good and ready to get up, go back in time and go to work.
Really surprised you didn’t go with Quantum Sleep as the title on this.
Why not just send them to the Cretaceous Period and let them get eaten?
Then it’s SNACK to the PAST.
