Image source, ReutersLast night was incredible and euphoric - but you've probably had no sleep and the adrenaline of the win may be wearing off as we approach midday. So how are we going to survive the rest of Monday?
If you're only just waking up, get outside as soon as you can - bright daylight helps tell your body it is time to be awake, especially in the morning.
Then - neck a strong coffee, tea or caffeinated energy drink. Caffeine helps the brain ignore those signals that you're tired. Stop around lunchtime to help you sleep tonight.
Have a post-lunch nap - around 20 minutes otherwise you'll go into a deeper sleep and feel really groggy - to help refresh the brain for the afternoon.
And try to go to bed around your normal time this evening.
But all of this is managing poor sleep, you can't shake it off completely.
Remember, the tired brain is prone to risk-taking, being impulsive, mood swings, anxiety and lacks empathy. Concentration, decision-making, creativity and productivity all take a nosedive too.
So you're not going to be your best self, take extra care when driving and save any big life decisions for later in the week.
