    Last 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.

    Sue Helmont, in York, eased her football stress by strolling around her garden in the early hours of the morning with her own Harry Kane-ine.

    She says that Bosun, her working cocker spaniel, was bemused by the unusual overnight activity.

    "I watched the game on my phone, headphones in, wearing PJs, pacing up and down the back garden - my new approach to dealing with tension," she tells the BBC.

    While Bosun is normally fast asleep - legs akimbo - at that time, Sue says she gave him a haggis-flavoured dog treat while she sipped a black coffee to sustain them over the course of the match's stressful 102 minutes.

    And at the final whistle, Sue says the pair shared a quiet rendition of 'It's Coming Home'.

    Keith Allen and Sarah Badrock

    Sarah Badrock, manager of The Ship Inn, in Trefin, Pembrokeshire was one of the few pubs in Wales that stayed open until 05:00 BST for the England game.

    Badrock was offering a free drink for every goal scored… but only four people turned up, one of whom was none other than Keith Allen, who wrote the iconic 1998 England World Cup song Vindaloo.

    She says he rocked up about midnight with his friend just as she was getting into her pyjamas because she lives in the pub.

    "We were quite late in advertising that we were actually open for the match, so I wasn’t expecting a large footfall, but I was surprised we had an actual celebrity walk through."

    It’s a Monday morning with a twist here at Castleway Primary in Leasowe, Wirral.

    We’ve got bunting, flags, England shirts, a table full of healthy snacks for half time and plenty of excited children waiting to find out the final score.

    Pupils have been told they'll miss playtime for the rest of the week if they dare reveal the result!

    When Hugh, a vicar in Manchester, was presented with an assembly theme of sport, teamwork and collaboration, he only had to look to last night's England performance for source material.

    Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Hugh describes how he watched the game live with his son in the early hours.

    "I watched it with my little lad, we said 'we'll watch it at 06:00 BST and not know the score'. We both woke at 02:00 - I think it was God's intervention. I went through and he was wide awake so I said 'let's go and watch it, son'. The rest is history, we're absolutely buzzing," he says.

    "Then I thought 'oh no, I've got it to do this assembly this morning' so I'm panicking thinking, 'what am I going to do?'"

    Up step Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane et al...

    "I'm just putting on the match for the kids, we'll watch all two hours of it, let's have it! I'm absolutely buzzing mate, it's unreal," he adds.

    Children wear England shirts in a school hall

    There are England shirts instead of school uniforms at St Luke's CofE Primary School in Worksop this morning, as pupils gather to watch the Three Lions' dramatic World Cup victory over Mexico.

    With kick-off not until 02:00 BST, most children were fast asleep and so many arrived at school without knowing the result.

    Excitement, anticipation and hope - all packed into this classroom. A game of twist and turns meant anxious faces - but it wasn’t long until the room erupted for Jude Bellingham’s first goal.

    Schoolchildren watch England game

    About 100 children are packed into this classroom and repeatedly chanting “England, England” in unison.

    There’s been screams at the referee from many, and clapping from others too.

    Speaking to a few they believe it’s a sure thing England will win, despite not yet knowing the score. The atmosphere is a mixture of nerves but excitement.

    Certainly a Monday morning to remember.

  8. Bacon butties and pastries fuel our own early kick offpublished at 10:00 BST

    Well what a way to start the day!

    Four families came together at my house in Sheffield to watch the whole game 'as live' at 06:00 BST.

    A strict no-phones policy was in play to stop anyone knowing the final score. Our house erupted twice in as many minutes as Jude Bellingham put the Three Lions two goals ahead, while bacon butties and pastries kept us going at half time.

    As the kids exchanged World Cup football stickers, the adults' focus turned again to the football when the second half kicked off. Despite the England red card and conceding a soft penalty, we held firm and six children went to school tired but elated!

    Six adults skipped to work, happier than ever as our dream of a World Cup win continues.

    Students may have succesfully avoided spoilers before watching the game, but DJ Sara Cox's husband Ben wasn't so lucky.

    Cox is opening her new BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show this morning, and describes how Ben slept downstairs so that Sara could get a good night's sleep before kicking off her new gig.

    "He was like, 'I'm going to wake up in the morning and watch the footy highlights, so don't tell me who won, the score or anything'."

    But, lying in the front room, Sara says her husband heard the unfortunate spoiler chanted down the street: "Where were you when we won 3-2."

    "He's like no!" Sara laughs.

  10. The result is in! Primary school students can finally celebratepublished at 09:46 BST

    Primary school students watching as England win match against Mexico

    As we reported earlier, the Malmesbury Church of England Primary School has been watching last night's game 'as live', with hundreds of students going in this morning without knowing the final score.

    At half time, England were leading 2-1 - but that didn't stop one pupil from worrying that Mexico would eventually come out on top.

    Now the rewatch is over, the school can finally celebrate together.

    "Absolutely amazing," one student says as they celebrate with their classmates.

    "It was amazing: two goals scored by Bellingham in like thirty seconds!" says another. "It feels so good."

    "It was better [watching] with my friends than it was with my parents," another adds.

    Eight-year-old Wren wasn't supposed to be up for England's late-night fixture, but his mum Jess Clark tells the BBC she couldn't resist waking him to celebrate.

    "It was incredible, my son and I were jumping up and down hugging each other singing Wonderwall - it was just a dream," she says.

    Wren is a keen football fan and she says experiencing England's success at the World Cup so far has been "beyond magical".

    Jess had to be up for an early commute into London but she says "for now I’m still riding that high".

  12. Home fans suffer in Mexico - while England fans rejoicepublished at 09:23 BST

    We've been focusing on England fans' stories in the UK - but (perhaps) spare a thought for those who watched the match at the Azteca stadium in Mexico, 7,220ft above sea level.

    "The altitude got to me when they scored the penalty," 21-year-old England fan Sam Holroyd admits. "I’ve watched Leeds and I’ve not had it worse than that."

    Ersan Beskardes, 30, from Bournemouth, says: "For the last 10 minutes, I’m not going to lie… my heart rate was up there."

    Outside the ground after the match, England fan Stuart Pearce (not that one) says: "When the Mexicans came out the whole thing vibrated – it was a great atmosphere, all the Mexicans were really friendly.

    "We’ve not had one bit of trouble – the Mexicans are so friendly that one even bought us a train ticket today."

    Nightshift workers at the JD Sports distribution centre in Rochdale enjoyed the match while working overnight.

    Two workers say the arrangements made by managers were "brilliant".

    Lead operations manager at the centre Lisa Brookes says her colleagues are doing a "fantastic job" so it's a "great opportunity" to watch the football together and "just have some fun".

    "It's not good for my heart, but football's my heart," says another worker. "It's coming home, let's bring it home."

    Unfortunately, he wasn't able to go home quite so soon - with another two hours left of his shift after the game.

    "The goals were really close to each other and I thought that Mexico were going to beat us," one student says

    At Malmesbury Church of England Primary School in Wiltshire, hundreds of pupils still do not know the final result of the match. They are part-way through a full re-run, which their head teacher organised so that they can "enjoy the game together as a community".

    For them, the score currently sits at 2-1 to England.

    One pupil is "really surprised" by the result so far, because "the goals were really close to each other and I thought that Mexico were going to beat us".

    Jude Bellingham scored two goals under 100 seconds apart in the first half, so it's looking "really good", says the pupil, who still has a gut feeling "Mexico are going to win".

    Little do they know...

    Digital marketing company MadebyShape, based in Manchester, is allowing its 21 members of staff to take the day off - providing they are on track with their work and rearrange any client meetings.

    "In our industry, you can do work any time," co-founder Andy Golpys tells me.

    "As long as the work gets done, it doesn't really matter whether you work that day or catch up the next."

    He adds his staff will appreciate the perk, "but from a business point of view, we're not really losing that much".

    After firing his side into Saturday's quarter-final, England midfielder Jude Bellingham had one message: “Text your bosses and tell them you’re not coming in, simple as that."

    At just 23, Bellingham may not have known tournament misery quite like some hardened fans but he knows victories like last night's are rare.

    "I remember watching a few tournaments and seeing a few of the players that are now on TV talking about it," he said after the game.

    “They struggled in these types of nights and it was tough because it felt like the country never really got behind them.

    “Kids stay off school, parents don’t go to work, enjoy your day, have the day off if you can, these nights don’t come often.”

    Labour MP Stella Creasy was among those who stayed up for last night's match

    Early Education Minister Olivia Bailey is urging children to get into school this morning, even if they are a "bit sleepy" after last night's result.

    On the morning media round, she tells Times Radio "it'll be a good day at school" and stresses that "every day at school matters, even when you're feeling a bit sleepy".

    Parents who stayed up to watch, though, might be feeling a little like Labour MP for Walthamstow Stella Creasy as they head for the school gates this morning.

    "I have no idea how I do the school run this morning after a red card and a penalty… Like having had ten espressos and a red bull chaser," she wrote on X at 03:28 BST.

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer, meanwhile, calls it "one of the greatest England matches I've ever seen", as he declares: "We are through to the quarter finals!"

  18. With two sons sleeping upstairs, it was a battle to stay silentpublished at 07:44 BST

    Owen Amos
    Live reporter

    Today's shift started at 06:00 BST - so I set my alarm for 03:30, and watched the match "as live" in my living room after recording it overnight.

    The big question - could I watch the match without waking up my two boys (aged 9 and 7) who were sleeping upstairs?

    There was a silent leap off the sofa when Bellingham scored his first, followed by wild (but equally silent) fist pumping when the second went in barely a minute later.

    Cushions were thrown as Mexico pulled one back, and there may have been just a peep of dissent when Quansah was sent off.

    But, despite the best efforts of the VAR, I managed to keep schtum for the full game - or at least, schtum-ish. My sons stayed asleep.

    And - after fast-forwarding half-time, the hydration breaks, and watching injury time on double speed - I was able to make it to work on time.

    My boys, both of them noisy football fans, are now also watching the game "as live". One thing is for sure - they won't be as quiet as me...

    It's not just England fans who are celebrating this morning; pub and bar owners are also reaping the rewards of staying open late.

    "I took more money than I did on New Year's Eve," one bar manager tells the BBC's Wake Up to Money.

    Thea Barratt runs Cramptons Sports Bar in Broadstairs, Kent, and says fans were queuing out of the door for a spot to see England take on Mexico.

    England will now play Norway in a 22:00 BST quarter-final kick-off on Saturday, which Barratt says will be another "great boost" for her business.

    After taking special measures - including installing new portaloos and building an outside bar - she says she expects to top last night's takings: "Long may they continue and hopefully get to the final".
