I don't drink tea but I wouldn't have thought drinking it would be classed as an unhealthy habit?

tea dehydrates and also the caffeine can increase the stressy feeling.


im shocked at the sleeping. sleeping is important.


 


did some research, seems i was wrong. tea isnt as bad in terms of dehydrating, its actually as good as water it seems.


the problem lies in the caffeine being a diuretic (no idea how to pronounce that word...)

Stress can make a person feel extremely lethargic and apathetic. Most people tend to sleep in order to 'flight'. It's not a healthy option. No point stressing about something the next day when it can be dealt with before.

I'm not stressed out at the moment but when you're in the "moment" it's so easy to forget these things without someone keeping an eye on you and constantly reminding you.
