Doped up high profile pensioners

[Tim Cognito]

Has anyone else wondered how high profile pensioners are/were able to maintain the schedules they do? I'm thinking your Joe Bidens, Donald Trumps, top tier Royal Family, various rock stars etc.

Lots of international travel, endless interviews/public appearances where you have to be "on it", live speeches, massive workloads.

Most pensioners I know are asleep on the sofa by 10 if they have a busy day out at the garden centre. How do these people do it? Do they sneak in a lot of r&r? Are they drugged up to the eyeballs?

Sleeping tablets for the long journeys and down time, maximising rest opportunities.

Money helps.

Doing nothing makes anyone sleepy, nearly a pensioner, hour on the Sofa and I can easily nod off, 20 hour 1000 mile road trip, no problem.

They can afford top healthcare.

I expect they get monthly blood test which checks vitamin levels and stuff.

They could also have a personal chef that prepares and cooks healthy meals.

I recently made some adjustments to my diet which has made a massive impacts on my energy levels.

I reckon not having to do any of the chores of life helps.

Get ferried around everywhere, fed and watered, told where and when to be. You dont lift a finger until somebody tells you to wave at a crowd or hands you a pre written speech to read.

The President is a little different but your average royal hasnt washed a dish in their life.

My Dad is 78, Mum is 83. Both very active, up at 5am, still go to the gym every day. Out and about, driving, holidays, doing things every day. You’ve just got to keep your mind and body active. They aren’t ones for sitting about on the couch all day watching TV.
