Thank you very much, Ritney. And related to that, next question is that longer days and shorter nights can disrupt routines. Have you noticed any changes in your sleep or energy levels. And how do you cope with that? Yeah, yeah. So definitely sleep changes significantly for me in the summer. And I'm also someone who, the moment the light shines in my bedroom window, I'm awake. Like I also am somebody who just struggles in general with being able to sleep in if the sun's up, I'm kind of up. So it is really challenging. And I'm also not a napper. So I'm not somebody that's going to take a nap to try to compensate for lack of sleep at night. And really, I feel like the biggest things that I do to cope with that is like tagging my husband in support, that kind of be like, Hey, look, like, I'm feeling really exhausted right now. I need a minute to just like take to myself or I use a lot of my own like self care strategies, like, you know, taking a hot bath and just relaxing and trying to build in more of that like alone time for me to focus on my self-care or reading like a good book or something like that just to try to recenter myself and do something for me so that even though I'm exhausted and I'm not physically getting more sleep I'm at least trying to take care of you know my emotional state so that I can still continue to take care of the things I need to take care of in my household. But I think definitely having like my supports and being able to say, hey, Tag, you're in now because I need a break and I need to chill out for a little bit is really huge in helping me, you know, through those times when I'm not getting enough rest.
