Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to sunlight and engage in light physical activity to reset your circadian rhythm and combat early fatigue.
Afternoon arrivals should plan a gentle nap (max 30 minutes) to refresh without disrupting nighttime sleep, followed by moderate outdoor exposure.
For evening arrivals, resist immediate sleep and have a light dinner, staying hydrated and avoiding heavy meals to support natural sleep transition.
