Sunday is a day for sleeping in and generally recouping before the week begins (sup, couch naps) so when the universe steals a precious hour from under your nose in the name of daylight saving time, it hurts. Doubly so if you were out partying last night, have a child under 5 years old, or had to get up early as part of some sort of punishing workout regime. While we can’t take the pain away entirely, this might be a good time to revisit a few easy ways to at least appear less exhausted when you need it. If not for today, then for tomorrow’s early morning all-staff meeting.
