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.

First drink a pint of water, your brain needs to be hydrated. But you don't want to be needing to pee during the interview so push the water early and then stop. As for food, carbs will make you sleepier than protein or greens.

Napping would leave me sleepier and disoriented but ymmv.

Certainly if you're overdoing the naps. If I nap for 20-30 minutes I'm refreshed. 40 and I'm fucked-in-half, worse off, and might not have bothered.
