1. Sleep—anywhere.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💤" title="Sleeping symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Sleeping symbol"> On or beneath the bed, in a sunny spot, under the covers, by the window, upside-down, on the couch, in the middle of the floor, on top of the refrigerator, in the closet, on your back, in a ball, in a box.
2. Keep active.

Chase your own tail. Sprawl on top of a good book. Get scared by something—anything—and race out of the room.
3. Communicate with friends and family.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👭" title="Women holding hands" aria-label="Emoji: Women holding hands"> Start screaming at 6 a.m., for no reason, at anyone within hearing distance. Yowl at the birds. Cry in front of the closed door to a room you’re not supposed to be in anyway. Yell into your full bowl of food.
4. Maintain a balanced diet.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍏" title="Green apple" aria-label="Emoji: Green apple"> Eat small meals, three to fourteen times a day. Dump food onto the floor for variety. Put your entire hand in a bowl of popcorn but then decide it’s not what you want. Steal a piece of turkey from an unattended sandwich.
5. Practice social distancing.
