I got a terrible night of sleep and have an interview this afternoon. What are some things I can do to help my brain? (lemm.ee)

I'm super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I'm drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

Edit: It went well! The director even said, "we should just hire you now!" However, I have one more panel interview. Time for a nap.

Before the interview, go outside and look up towards the sun with your eyes closed.

Feel the warmth of the sun radiate on your face and body. Take deep breaths, but hold your exhales until discomfort.

This will trigger your body to wake up and be alert.
