As a busy person, how do you cope with sleep deprivation and stress?
I believe everyone has experienced lack of sleep, especially adults. And currently, I become more sleep-deprived than before because I commute back-and-forth Bali and Jakarta for businesses.
I always keep myself hydrated when I am sleep-deprived, like I would drink tons of mineral water every ten minutes. It is because we tend to look dull when sleep less, at least water would help my appearance looks fresher. I am actually a habitual nap-taker. But when I sleep less last night, I would take a nap more frequent than usual, at least for ten minutes.
My healthy lifestyle has made me to feel stress less, but it happens sometimes. To cope this, I walk on daily basis for 20 minutes. I often walk outdoor, but if the heat is unbearable, I prefer to walk on treadmill. Quality time with family is also important for reducing stress. It is the very right time to share problems and ask for advice from them.
Just a couple days ago, Nana Mirdad shared a recipe of "vegan meatballs". Are you going vegan now?
To be honest, I and Nana have tried to eat fully vegan before, but we stopped in the middle as we realized veganism is not that healthy. There are some nutrients that can be obtained from meat only. My family eating habit is more fish-based and plant-based, or pescetarian.
People might think my family doesn't eat fried food and everything is organic. But that's not true. My family also eats rice and red meat sometimes, but we keep portion size in check, and self-cook our own food.
