Ask HN: Strategies to Combat Feeling Tired?
An essential skill is the ability to work under pressure. I can handle that, but only if I feel consistently well-rested; otherwise, I get headaches and heart palpitation, and I can't manage. I have been trying to develop a methodology to get as much rest as possible. Sleep is the best solution, but it's often elusive or inconsistent despite my best efforts, and I can't depend on it to feel fully rested every day. My current approach is first sleeping as much as I can, taking naps when I can. Otherwise, meditate for around 10 minutes, stretch, light exercise, cool showers, eat low glycemic index foods, avoid drugs (weed, alcohol, nicotine), dry eye drops. It feels like an oxymoron, but there must be a way to feel well-rested even during times of high stress? It feels backward to go for a Monster or Redbull and crash at the expense of your health instead of developing a system for consistent energy. What can a developer do to avoid feeling tired and promote a sense of restfulness in the short and long term? What do you personally do to maintain yourself for consistent output of work in different or unexpected contexts? 1 comments on Hacker News.
