The 6-2-1 Rule

6 hours of sleep

2 full meals

1 shower

The 6-2-1 rule is a reminder of some basic health and hygiene practices for conventions. Although originally from science-fiction fandom (and later popularized through the furry fandom), the recommendations apply to events of all types.

6 hours of sleep: A good night’s sleep makes sure you’re well rested and focused.
2 full meals: Proper meals give you the energy you need to enjoy the convention.
1 shower: A good shower (or bath) makes sure you’re clean and smelling fresh, which is especially important when you’re in crowded spaces.

				Important Notes
				Each item is per day and should be considered a minimum. If you can do more, then do more!
These are not the only things you need to do to stay healthy at a convention.
