Why downtime is important for mental health?

Downtime gives us time and space to enjoy our personal lives and get personal tasks done. It grants us time with family, friends, and our hobbies. On a brain level, it allows us to reach homeostasis and is a necessary break from the aroused state, Dr. Hanson says.

What is downtime in mental health?
This mental downtime — aka when you're not actively focusing on and engaging in the outside world and are simply letting your mind wander or daydream — helps your brain become reenergized and better able to deal. But Americans are getting less mental downtime than ever (and the same goes for sleep)

Hatchlings die of dehydration if they don't make it to the ocean fast enough. Birds, crabs, and other animals also prey on the young turtles. Where do turtle hatchlings go? Every sea turtle begins life in the same way. It hatches  within its buried nest , forces its way to the surface, and sprints towards the water past a gauntlet of crabs, birds and other predators. Many die, but they emerge in such numbers that there are plenty of survivors. They dive beneath the waves… and disappear
