6-2-1 rule
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
The 6-2-1 rule is a convention guideline whose history is lost in the mist of science fiction fandom's past. The rule was re-introduced to many in the furry fandom by 2 the Ranting Gryphon and Uncle Kage, who highlighted it during the "Your First Furry Con" panels that they have run since 2004.
The rule mandates the following:
- 6 hours of sleep per night.
- 2 meals per day.
- 1 shower per day.
These numbers are just minimums; the intention is that people should feel free to exceed those numbers. The third part of the rule is to prevent con funk.

- 2 snacks per day.
- 1 nap per day.
