One thing I’ve seen is a lot of people write in characters is they are constantly going. And I get it, down time in a story can fall flat, but not every character is made to be working by 24/7. Plus, giving your characters a chance to rest also can be a great opportunity to give a glimpse in their coping mechanisms, how they wind down, and it can help slow the pace of your story for your readers to process whatever action scene before that they just read.
