And it stresses the brain just like,

all the other stresses we've talked about, anxiety.

My recommendation depends on where you are in that loneliness epidemic.

If you're really having a hard time coming out and there's so much anxiety just talking to somebody new, I would go and seek out free things that you can do, low stakes kinds of things.

Places to go to just to have a short conversation.

You don't even have to have a real conversation.

Just go to a place where it's easy just to greet somebody and kind of build up from there.

This is all of my recommendations.

People ask me about how do I get to exercise more?

Again, start small, build big.

Social interaction, same thing.

Start small.

I know this from being dean of the College of Arts and Science.

We have so many different programs, low stakes, easy.

Come and hang out and just make it easy for people to meet.

Of course, they're at a university, but...

The city has things like this all over the place as well and free events too.

I'm going to go for the one that I think is –

especially here in New York, sleep.

Can you add just a little bit longer good sleep each night?
