> By far the most important advice here is exercise. It's definitely a major part, I always paid for my 24 hour fitness membership during my days as a founder for this reason, I suffered immensely when things shutdown during COVID--even as a non-founder by that point because most of my coping mechanisms required a massive workout when I'm stressed out. I started to grind my teeth badly and had constant headaches, and was always irritable during this time. Nothing really beats a hard work out and a long sauna and steam with occasional exposure to the snow outside and some CBD and a massage (even with just a gun) for your body into resetting itself for the next day. Especially if you were all alone at the gym like I was at 2am and had the place to yourself and the 1 guy on staff. The only problem was I hardly slept back then and only power napped, which resulted in occasionally falling asleep in the spa area embarrassingly, which I'm now finding impossible to do without massive set backs. I'd argue diet is perhaps just as, if nor moreso, important, though. And sleep rounding the last of the top 3.
