Tidur cukup sangat membantu Anda dalam melakukan aktivitas sehari-hari. Tidur cukup yang berkualitas membantu mengurangi stress, membuat Anda bertenaga seharian, mengurangi peradangan dalam tubuh, hingga membuat suasana hati menjadi baik.
Apalagi di tengah pandemi ini, tidur yang cukup sangat diperlukan agar daya tahan tubuh tetap maksimal. Namun, sebagian orang mengalami kesulitan tidur selama pandemi. Dikutip dari JakartaPost, penggunaan pil tidur dan obat anti-depresi meningkat saat Maret kemarin.
Berikut ini beberapa tips yang bisa Anda lakukan untuk membantu memperbaiki pola tidur Anda.
Bangun dan tidur pada waktu yang sama setiap harinya bisa membentuk siklus tidur alami tubuh. Misalnya, tiap harinya Anda bisa mencoba untuk tidur pukul 10 malam dan bangun pukul 7 pagi secara konsisten bahkan saat libur.
Untuk membantu Anda tertidur lebih mudah di malam hari, hindari penggunaan gadget minimal 2 jam sebelum tidur. Pastikan ruangan tidur Anda nyaman, sejuk, dan tidak terlalu terang. Ruang yang gelap dan sejuk membantu memberi sinyal pada tubuh untuk tidur.
Ketika Anda bangun di pagi hari, jangan lupa membuka tirai jendela Anda atau pergi ke teras untuk menikmati sinar matahari 15 – 30 menit tiap harinya. Sinar matahari memberi sinyal pada tubuh untuk “terjaga” dan membuat tubuh lebih segar.
Jika Anda mengalami kesulitan tidur, coba perhatikan kebiasaan sehari-hari Anda. Misalnya, jumlah kafein yang Anda konsumsi, berapa lama Anda tidur siang, kegiatan harian, hingga makanan apa yang Anda konsumsi sebelum tidur.
Baik Anda beraktivitas dari rumah maupun di luar rumah, penting untuk berolahraga secara rutin. Selain menjaga kebugaran tubuh, dengan rutin bergerak maka tenaga yang tersimpan dalam tubuh akan terbakar. Membuat Anda lebih mudah mengantuk di malam hari. Anda bisa mencoba bersepeda, jogging, yoga, dan olahraga lainnya.
Berita yang Anda temukan baik melalui media konvensional ataupun media sosial bisa membuat tingkat kecemasan meningkat. Terlebih lagi jika Anda sering mendengarkan berita yang tidak menyenangkan. Oleh karena itu, batasi paparan informasi yang Anda terima. Hindari membaca berita dan menggunakan media sosial sebelum tidur.
Bagi Anda yang belajar ataupun bekerja selama pandemi, jangan lupa memperhatikan kebutuhan diri Anda. Bekerja dan beraktivitas itu baik. Namun, ada pula saatnya bagi Anda untuk beristirahat sejenak dan memanjakan diri. Jangan lupa untuk meluangkan waktu “me time” untuk menyegarkan kembali tubuh dan pikiran Anda. Tubuh yang sehat dan pikiran yang tenang tentunya membantu Anda tidur lebih lelap di malam hari.

Car brake pads are one of the most vital components in the braking system. Their main function is to create friction with the brake disc, allowing the vehicle to stop or slow down.
Because of this crucial role, it’s important to check your car’s brake pads regularly to ensure optimal performance and maintain driving safety.
Here’s a complete guide about the car brake pads to help you better understand how they work, their types, and how to check them properly.
To understand how brake pads work and function within the braking system, here’s the process:
When the brake pedal is pressed, the pressure is transmitted through the brake fluid to the caliper.
The caliper then pushes the brake pads against both sides of the brake disc, which rotates with the wheels.
This creates friction against the wheel’s rotation, causing the vehicle to slow down and stop.
Semi-Metallic, known for durability and excellent heat transfer. These brake pads are usually made from synthetic organic materials mixed with processed metals, giving them high heat resistance.
Organic, made from a blend of resin, carbon, glass, rubber, and other materials. Vehicles using this type are typically free from squeaking sounds. However, regular inspections are needed to ensure the pads don’t wear out completely.
Non-Asbestos Organic or NAO, offers better performance compared to brake pads that are made of metal. They provide reliable performance and improved safety while driving.
Ceramic, considered the best performing type, is often found in luxury cars due to its higher price. Ceramic brake pads don’t leave residue or produce annoying noises, making them highly efficient.
Generally, the right time to replace car brake pads is when you hear a squeaking or squealing sound during braking.
The physical condition of the brake pads can also indicate when they need replacement. That’s why it’s highly recommended to check their condition regularly.
Most disc brake pads are equipped with a thin metal plate that serves as a wear indicator.
When this small plate rubs against the brake disc, it produces a squeaking sound as a warning sign.
If the plate is already touching the brake disc, it means the brake pads must be replaced immediately.
Before replacing them, make sure the caliper and brake disc are cleaned properly to avoid dirt buildup, such as debris or residue from worn brake pads.
This step is essential to optimize braking performance, especially since dirt mixed with water can disrupt the braking process.
That’s the complete discussion about car brake pads, including their function, how they work, different types, how to check them, and the right time for replacement. Hope it helps!

Fuel-efficient cars are often the top choice for many Indonesians, especially in big cities like Jakarta, where heavy traffic can significantly increase fuel consumption.
Choosing the right car can help reduce expenses without sacrificing engine performance.
Here are some recommendations for fuel-efficient cars available in Indonesia, their advantages, and comparisons among different options. Check it out!
The first recommendation for a fuel-efficient car is the Honda Brio, a city car that has become quite popular in Indonesia over the past few years.
On highways, Honda Brio’s fuel consumption is impressive, as it can reach 24 km/liter compared to the LCGC regulation standard of 20 km/liter.
Aside from being fuel-efficient, the Honda Brio also offers a spacious and comfortable cabin, as well as a choice between a manual or automatic CVT transmission.
Its affordable price, starting from Rp 170.4 million for the Satya M/T type, is also a strong appeal.
The Suzuki All New Ertiga is also considered a fuel-efficient car, with an average fuel consumption of 10 – 13 km/liter in the city and 18 – 21 km/liter on highways.
This is thanks to its K15 B-coded engine with a capacity of 1.462 cc, 4 cylinders producing 103.2 hp at 6.000 rpm, and peak torque of 138 Nm at 4.400 rpm.
Additionally, this car utilizes a new platform called HEARTECT, which reduces the car’s weight by up to 15%, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
Its market price varies, with used units priced from Rp 100 million to Rp 230 million, while new units are priced between Rp 228.4 million and Rp 262.8 million.
Launched in 2003, the Toyota Avanza has become a household name and a popular choice for those seeking an affordable, fuel-efficient car.
With a tank capacity of 43 liters, the Avanza can travel long distances, achieving an average fuel consumption of approximately 17.6 km/liter.
In the market, used Toyota Avanza units are priced from Rp 127 million to Rp 227 million, while new units range from Rp 233.1 million to Rp 272.5 million.
The Honda All New BR-V is another fuel-efficient option, with fuel consumption reaching 11.7 km/liter in city driving and 14 km/liter on highways.
It also features an eco-indicator, which helps drivers adopt a more efficient driving style.
The Honda All New BR-V is available at prices ranging from Rp 292 million to Rp 385 million, depending on the type and region.
Next are the Daihatsu Sigra and Toyota Calya, both classified as LCGC cars with two engine capacity options, 1000 cc and 1200 cc.
The Toyota Calya can achieve up to 20 km/liter when driving at a constant speed of 100 km/h. At 60 km/h, fuel consumption improves to around 25 km/liter.
In terms of pricing, used Toyota Calya units range from Rp 101 million to Rp 142 million, while new units are priced from Rp 167.6 million to Rp 187.4 million.
So, those are some recommendations for fuel-efficient cars that could be your choice, offering driving efficiency without sacrificing performance. Hopefully, this guide is useful!
