Protect your hearing!
Ear plugs can be overlooked as a party essential, but in fact, they are amongst the most important. Ever leave an event with your ears ringing or finding yourself having to yell at the person next to you on the dance floor? Those are not good signs.
Ear protection can cost anywhere from $1-$150 depending what you prefer. You can go the cheapest route and get yourself a pair of foam ear plugs for as cheap as $1 — these will block sound but they are often uncomfortable and can provide a muffled hearing experience, all the while keeping you protected. You could stay relatively cheap and get yourself a pair of hi-fidelity ear plugs for $10-25 or go with custom-made ear protection for $100-150. We recommend at least having a pair of hi-fidelity ear plugs with a good attenuation scale, because we believe that spending $10-15 to save your hearing is the best investment you can make as true music aficionado. If you have the chance of getting custom plugs of course do so as it is the ideal solution, but always keep a cheaper pair with you at all times just in case. For a fairly cheap price you can save yourself from tinnitus: the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. Tinnitus isn’t a condition itself — it’s a symptom of what can be an even larger problem such as severe ear injury, circulatory system disorder and ultimately permanent hearing loss.
Prevent tinnitus by wearing earplugs when you’re at a club, festival, or event where there is continuous loud noise. A quick and simple fix that you will thank yourself for!
Sleep or die.
You need sleep just as much as you eat and breathe.
Sure many of you are reading this and saying, “But there are things to help you stay up.”
Yes, but remaining awake for more than 24 hours at a time impairs your brain activity, increases irritability and your chance of being involved in an accident. Our bodies are not designed to stay up for days on end. Sleep deprivation leads to damage of the central nervous system, immune system, respiratory system, digestive system, and cardiovascular system, making it key that you get adequate rests whenever you can in between all the partying you have planned to do.
If you don’t want to sleep for more than eight hours, at least take a nap. Something is better than nothing and your body will surely thank you for it.
Party responsibly.
As much as you want to join your alien friends in a different universe, you still have to keep in mind that super powers do not exist in this world. Consume only what you can and be smart about what you put into your body: food, drinks, substances, and people. Use testing kits, do your research and ensure those you are partying with do the same.
After all, we’re all here to have a good time, and to keep having a good time for years to come.
