When it comes to asking intimate questions about a Xero's life, Tiga definitely hits the mark with the question about sleeping habits. For Tiga, an overworked Xero who works late into the night and sleeps during the day, this question strikes a chord. But despite the long hours and unconventional sleeping schedule, Tiga's sleeping habits are surprisingly healthy and optimized for maximum rest and productivity.Due to the nature of Tiga's work, sleep comes naturally to this hardworking Xero. With no distractions or noise to interrupt sleep during the day, Tiga can enjoy uninterrupted hours of restful slumber. To ensure that the sleep is restful and rejuvenating, Tiga takes care to make the sleeping environment as comfortable and conducive to sleep as possible. The room is always kept cool and dark, with comfortable pillows, blankets, and bedding. He also typically has his fan blowing in the distance to produce the sound of wind within the background, As he can't stand complete silence after all. However, the real trick to Tiga's sleeping habits happens before bed. To prepare for sleep, Tiga switches off all work-related notifications,say from demanding co-workers. at least one hour before bedtime. So, instead of arguing those rude coworkers away and stressing out about what comes after his sleep, Tiga sets aside at least an hour before bedtime for relaxing activities, such as reading a book, listening to his favorite xero podcast called, The knowledge of the galaxies, or taking a warm bath with a set of lavender oil and rose dried petals. These activities help Tiga unwind and relax from the day's hard work of activities, creating a relaxed and calm state of mind that is perfect for peaceful sleep.And when his restful night is finished, Tiga's sleeping habits remain strict for productivity. Even though Tiga sleeps during the day, he still manages to maintain a consistent sleeping schedule, with a set time to go to bed and wake up. Tiga uses a bright, natural light within his apartment that seems similar to a makeshift sun to help reset the body's internal clock and maintain a regular sleep-wake pattern. To ensure that Tiga wakes up for work on time, a special alarm system is used, with a sequence of increasingly louder alarms that build up to a crescendo of loud blarings of horns to help Tiga get up, especially given should he wait too long his neighbors pound on his door with a unwanted fury.Overall, Tiga's sleeping habits are proof of his dedication to the importance of his work. Even in the midst of a highly-stressful or unconventional work schedule. By creating a comfortable and optimized sleeping environment, stepping away from work activities before bedtime, and setting a consistent sleep-wake pattern, Tiga is able to enjoy restful and rejuvenating sleep, maximizing productivity and performance during waking hours. If there's anything that other Xeros can learn from Tiga's healthy sleeping habits, it's that a good night's sleep can do wonders for our overall well-being and productivity.
