14 Ways To Banish The Saturday Night Fear And Get Yourself Back To Normal ASAP

We talked before about the surefire signs that you were suffering from the dreaded fear after a weekend partying, so rather than just wallowing in it this week we decided to share some quick fire ways to lose the fear.

These are life hacks that will put your recovery on steroids (not literally) and get you back to feeling normal in record time.

We know this isn’t going to be easy but bear with us, do at least three of them and we promise this moment of feeling like death will zip right on by…

1. Be decisive and deal with the mess you’ve made on Snapchat, Whatsapp or by calling people you shouldn’t have

Message the people and turn it into a laugh right now, rather than letting it spill into Sunday. You’ll be glad you did tomorrow.

2. Have a massively long, hot shower

It’s the only time you’ll feel marginally better and it will give you 20 minutes extra in bed tomorrow morning which, let’s be real here, you’re gonna need.

3. Get all of your clothes ready for tomorrow

Lay them out, iron them and do everything else right now. Again, when dreaded Sunday morning rolls around you’ll be punching the air with glee for showing such foresight.

4. Get some emails written and scheduled for 9am the next morning

That way you can ease yourself into the day, while your boss and co-workers think you are being super productive after an all weekend health buzz. Suckers.

5. Get a couple of fresh juices from a good shop and start pumping them into you

After the serious lack of nutrients all weekend, they’ll get to work during the night and give you the natural kick start you need in the morning…

6. Do one hour of strenuous exercise

Sounds like the last thing you’d want to be doing, but it will make you tired and helps you get to sleep faster. You’ll feel like s*** doing it, of course, but it’ll serve you well in the long run.

7. Get into a sauna in the local gym

You probably noticed that your body is sweating out all sorts of toxic stuff. A sauna will speed that process up and although you’ll nearly pass out, it will get those pesky toxins out of your body way faster.

8.If you feel tired and you are able to sleep then… just sleep

Revolutionary advice, we know, but it’s the quickest way to recover.

9. Hugs

Snuggles will also suffice. No scientific proof here, but find a human or an animal that is willing to take part and everything will be all right.

10. Retail Therapy

Your bank account might not be in the best situation after a Thursday or Friday night, but you can still buy a couple of items which will arrive midweek, giving you something to look forward to in work tomorrow.

11. Meditate or do yoga before bed

You probably noticed that your breathing is all over the place, as you move from sighing to short breaths. Get the blood flowing with 10 minutes of yoga, or if you want something more relaxed, mediate using a video on Youtube just before bed.

12. Get some spinach or bananas into you

After a heavy night out we don’t just lose water, but electrolytes too. You’ll want to replace them with potassium rich foods. This part is basic science, so get it done.

13. Pop out and grab a few bits

Make sure you get all the ingredients ready for this Sunday morning boost, that’ll get your body back to some semblance of normality.

14. If all else fails just crawl back under the duvet and eat really bad food

Maybe watch Come Dine With Me too.
