Young Hollywood

What time do you go to sleep?

Alexis Ren

Mm, I try to go to sleep by 11:00 or 12:00 latest.

Young Hollywood

And what does an off day look like?

Alexis Ren

An off day, mm, I I always get kind of off when I'm like inside all day 'cause I really need like nature, the sunshine or the beach or just some kind of like way to release that energy. So if I'm having an off day, which happens sometimes, especially from like the highs and lows of this show, 'cause what I found out is that performance days are you're on such a high like an adrenaline rush. And then the next day you're like I don't know what to do with myself and so you kinda have to compensate that. So like what I'll do a lot of the time is I'll meditate which gets calms my mind down 'cause the adrenaline rush just pumps your brain and you're thinking, overthinking and you're coming up with all these scenarios that aren't true. That's not the story. That's not reality. And so um I realize that as soon as I'm the next day, as soon as I'm up and I hear my brain just like going a million miles an hour and I'm like, all right, it's time to slow down. You're not performing right now. Like slow down and so I'll do yoga. I'll stretch. I'll meditate. I'll have I'll have a nice cup of coffee. I'll just like write. I do a daily journal as well.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Well, today is not an off day, it's an on day. We're at the Dancing with the Stars Studio.

Alexis Ren

Yes. Yeah, we are.

Young Hollywood
