Olympics "Hangover"
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Anyone else have an Olympics "hangover"?

As I woke up today, tired and with a headache, it occurred to me that I've got an Olympics "hangover." The staying up late watching the Olympics (into the wee hours of the morning) and then waking up to work has caught up with me.

I feel like I need to power through this with some extra hydration (making some green tea as we speak) and maybe a power nap in a few hours. These Olympics do seem to be testing my endurance. Is it me or do they seem to air the events we most want to watch after midnight? Those of us without TIVO, or a way to record and watch later, are totally at a (spectator) training disadvantage.

If you have an Olympics "hangover" like me, remember to stay hydrated (especially if you are trying to correct your morning hangover with caffeine), fuel the body wisely through the day, and take a power nap if you can. Then get ready to watch some more Olympics tonight!

Not me - I haven't felt this good since I was 13, uh, strike that: 16 years old.
