Here is what copilot came up with as healthy alternatives. I hope this helps you all come up with some ideas.

Instead of:

- Ignoring fatigue
Try:
- Consistent sleep & wake times (even on weekends)

- Morning light exposure
- Short naps or rest breaks instead of pushing through exhaustion

- Overeating or emotional eating
- Excess sugar, fast food, late‑night eating

Try:
- Regular meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats

- Drinking water consistently throughout the day
- Eating earlier in the evening when possible
