Evening: avoid heavy/fried food and alcohol; do a 10–15 min wind‑down walk and dim lights to help sleep. Morning (before an early presentation): 1) small, bland+protein breakfast — e.g., banana or idli/poha with a spoon of yogurt or peanut‑butter on toast (easy on stomach, steady energy). 2) caffeine: 50–150 mg (tea or one small coffee), 30–45 min before you need peak alertness; avoid very large doses that cause jitters. 3) quick movement: 5–10 min brisk walk and 1–2 min sun exposure to raise alertness. 4) if anxious, 2 min box breathing; if time and not groggy, a 10–20 min power nap helps (avoid >30 min).
