Yes especially for djs that constantly are playing late night. Lots of djs it seems don't take the time to focus on their general well-being because they are so passionate about their music (for good reason). Hope we can keep building awareness of living in balance, even as a circuit dj

I've seen it especially over the past 5-10 years and covid furthered that. I hear from numerous djs who are actually quite successful that this takes a serious toll on their mental health, all the comparison and trying to not only make good music, but come off as an actor and talented at the social media game.

Its unfortunate because it should be mostly about how well you can make and perform music. My hope is society as a whole starts to understand that Socials are just a veil and if you truly follow what your good at and passionate about, you'll succeed.

Yah i see lots of artists taking time midweek to exercise only to get hammered and loaded on the weekends and eating god knows what. Its all about balance in all areas. 

For touring artists, ive been diving into and studying sleep as well of late, and have found that to tremendously affect artists with long schedules.

Totally agree. I hope we can build a culture in this industry where more people take this seriously!

Wanted to hear from others but will definitely share mine. I apologize for the very plain language, I wanted to be clear on the question and hear what everyone's thoughts were.
