You don’t have to sleep every time you are less busy. You need to be physically active if you want to live a healthy lifestyle.
Getting a good sleep in the night and a 30-minute nap during the day is enough sleep for you.
When you are not busy, find something to do to keep you active.
There is a list of fun things you can do instead of sleep or lying down doing nothing.
Here are 8 fun things to do during your leisure time.
Reading
Read novels, magazines, read stories and articles online.
Look for an endless supply of stuff to read on the Internet, pick up books at bookstores, or take advantage of your free library card and gain access to everything from the old classics to the latest best-sellers.
Walking
Asides its benefits to the cardiovascular health, walking is an excellent way to clear your head, let off some steam, and just enjoy the outdoors.
You can walk the trail at your local park or just walk your neighbourhood after your dinner. The benefits are the same, and it’s free.
Play Cards
Playing cards is a fun and easy way to relax and unwind, and it is also a great option when your Internet connection mysteriously goes down, and you decide to reinvent family time.
Puzzles
Play puzzles. Puzzles are cheap and easy to find.
And depending upon your level of patience, puzzles can be a wonderful way to spend a quiet evening at home. You can go for the jigsaw, crossword puzzles or Sudoku.
They help improve concentration, memory, and critical thinking.
Learn dancing

Learn dance styles, such as Salsa, Latin, or Hip Hop on YouTube or just turn on your radio and go freestyle.
