12. How do you go an entire show without sleep?
This is a BIG misconception actually. I actually do sleep, probably more than most. After being in the industry this long, you learn a lot on what to do. My strategy is to network as much as possible early in the show, when everyone is fresh.
I think my advantage is that when at home I go to a fitness class at 6:30am at least 3-4 times a week, so I am used to getting up early and not needing a ton of sleep. Plus, I think being fit helps out a ton, as well as taking a lot of vitamins and drinking a ton of water.
So, in answer to your question I actually do sleep and sneak naps in every now and then. I remember hearing that a true sleep cycle is 20 minutes or 1.5hrs, so I try to adhere to that when taking naps. If you nap too long, it can actually make you feel more tired.
Also, midway through the show I will hit the spa, get a massage, sit in the steam room and jacuzzi and detox. It helps rejuvenate your body and you feel like a new person. Very metro thing to do as well. The best spa I have been to thus far during a show is the one at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood Florida.
