Did you know -
There is a scientific explanation to the "Monday Morning Blues"
According to an e-article that I came across the "Monday Morning Blues" is caused by uur internal clocks naturally operating on a day that is longer than 24 hours. By the time Monday rolls around each week, we've built up a sleep deficit of at least an hour. Does that make sense?
I thought I would step outside of my usual haunts in the blogosphere, cigar this and interesting cigar that, and give you a little Monday Morning trivia...
How to beat the Monday Morning Blues
Step 1:
If you can, sleep in an extra hour on Monday mornings. [sounds good to me!]
Step 2:
If you can't sleep in by a full hour (and most of us can't), take action Sunday night to shorten your morning preparation time so that you can set the alarm for 15 minutes later than usual. [sounds good to me!]
Step 3:
Hop out of bed the moment you wake up on Monday morning.[yeah right!]
Step 4:
End your shower with a jolt of cold water to tear yourself out of your grogginess. Or exercise in the morning to get your blood pumping and to release those feel-good endorphins. [now, that's a do-able]
Step 5:
Get out in the sunlight. Bright light tells your body that it is indeed the morning and helps reset your internal clock. [that makes sense!]
Step 6:
Drink coffee or another caffeine beverage. Although it's not healthy to drink caffeine to the point of addiction, caffeine, when used in moderation, can give your Monday mornings that much-needed oomph and alertness. [that hits the nail on the head - with your morning cigar!]
Step 7:
Anticipate your Monday morning on Friday afternoon. [unrealistic, I don't know about you, but the last thing I'm thinking about Friday afternoon, is Monday morning!]
Well I hope that helps get you through the day, have a good one - and remember who loves you!
Damsel...
