If iRadio HQ is anything to go by over the last couple of days, people are damn sleepy.
As lovely and relaxing as the Christmas break was, late nights and potential over-eating has taken hold of many, leaving us all craving 5.30pm tomorrow.
Between catching up on emails, dark mornings, dealing with laboured "How was your Christmas?" chit-chat, and the terror of the prospect of sleeping through your shiver-inducing wake-up alarm, it's certaintly not easy to get back into the swing of things.
Feeling any/ all of the above symptoms? You're not alone.

The worst part of #backtowork is this:
-"Happy New Year!"
-"Yes, Happy New Year!"
-"Good Christmas?
-"Yes thank you, it was lovely. You?"
-"Same, quiet. Back to the grindstone now though eh?"
-"Ha ha! Yes."<REPEAT x 20 or until you actually choke to death on your own banality>

I’ve checked the volume on my phone at least three times since I settled down to sleep.
I can *absolutely* confirm it’s up the maximum level and my alarm will go off at the desired time tomorrow. I will hear it. I will wake up.
I’ll just check *one* more time.

Gang. Gang. Put your drinks down. DRY JANUARY HAS BEGUN.
