In Bali the heat puts your brain into power save idle mode

In Bali, me and my friends would all go into an idle state without realizing it

You just sit in cafes and restaurants (most don't have AC there) and doing nothing, just hanging around

Then you'd enter an AC'd cafe (few), and after half an hour you'd wake up from standby mode

You have ideas again, and ambition is back

You wouldn't even realize you get into this idle slow state but your brain goes on power save mode with the heat and you can't even think
