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 don’t think I’ve ever heard someone describe taking a shower as “removing impurities” but hey if that’s your intended meaning then cool!

For your future reference, “impurities” is kind of a catchall, meaningless term that health quacks throw around. “Do a juice cleanse, it’ll remove your impurities and toxins.”

Sorry about that. English isn't my first language and I often have to alternate between semantic "modes" if that makes sense.

Don't sweat it, you just unfortunately tripped up on a VERY charged word lol. Again, your advice is good! Getting the body moving and cardiovascular/pulmonary systems cranking is good for waking up and feeling energized. Showers just feel damn good too.
