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.

I would say meditation or a power nap, but if you are super drowsy, I think you will likely sleep through it.

You could go for a long walk in a park (ideally close to your interview location) to get your body active and hope that the energy would carry through to the interview instead of tiring you out more.

But the safest option is still to ask to reschedule because of illness. Cold, IBS, migraine, plumbing issue... Your choice.

Edit: so happy that it went well!!
