A brilliant video on recovering from an all-nighter. For those who ended up staying up all night caring for a loved one, doing the dreaded one off night shifts or just stayed up to complete an assignment. The next couple of days just feel like walking in a dream or a really tiring nightmare. I usually find it hard to focus and my body feels like it’s totally out of wack. You know what I’m talking about. Anyway here is a video with some scientific tips on how to recover from an all-nighter that I have found to be super helpful!

Here are some of the helpful tips that have helped me in the video.

• Don’t hit the snooze button!
• Eat Breakfast!
• No Sugar!
• Only one cup of coffee
• Get out in the Sun
• Do the hardest task first then grab a 2nd cup of coffee
• Light Lunch
• 1 Coffee in the early afternoon but not after 3pm
• Do simple tasks

So ya, I’ve been doing it all wrong literally and hitting the snooze button like 3 to 4 times in the morning, not eating breakfast, I think the only thing I did right was grabbing a single cup of coffee.
