The Lowdown on National Football Hangover Day

This unofficial holiday is all about embracing the post-football game comedown, where the thrill of victory (or agony of defeat) has worn off, and all you're left with is a pounding headache and a serious case of the Mondays. It's a day to indulge in some well-deserved R&R, perhaps with a hair-of-the-dog Bloody Mary or a greasy breakfast to soak up the, ahem, "excesses" of the previous day.

The Origins of National Football Hangover Day

While its origins are murky, it's clear that this holiday has its roots in the raucous, beer-soaked tailgating parties that precede the big game.

Well, that's where National Football Hangover Day comes in.

So, how do you celebrate this most sacred of days? Well, for starters, take a page from the playbook of your average college student and sleep in. Like, really sleep in. As in, "I-just-found-my-phone-under-the-couch-cushion" sleep in. Once you've mustered the energy to crawl out of bed, grab a glass of water (or three) and shuffle over to the couch for a marathon viewing session of... well, pretty much anything that's not too taxing on the brain.
