Chai, power naps or short walks — how do you manage energy during sleepless, stressful work weeks?
During crunch weeks it's common for sleep to suffer and for extra chai or coffee to appear at meetings. People then skip workouts or crash mid-afternoon. What's your one rule for managing energy when work is intense — a 15–20 minute nap, no caffeine after 3pm, a post-lunch walk, a lighter tiffin? Share the habit you actually use.

Practical, evidence‑based rules: limit naps to ~15–20 min to boost alertness without sleep inertia; if you need a bigger boost try a “coffee nap” (drink coffee quickly then nap ~20 min) so caffeine peaks as you wake. Avoid caffeine 4–6 hours before planned bedtime. A 10–15 min post‑lunch walk and a lighter, protein+fiber lunch reduce the postprandial slump. Stay hydrated and don’t let short‑term hacks replace regular sleep—seek help if insomnia is recurrent.
