We could all do with this before starting work in the morning!

An Olympic athlete from Germany has gone viral after footage of her pre-match ritual emerged online.
Martyna Trajdos' warmup involved being vigourously shaken and slapped across the face by her coach.
She's defended her coach on Instagram after some people criticised the tough approach, saying that it was all her idea.
"Please don't blame him!!!" she says on her insta story, "I need this before my fights to be awake."
To be honest, we couldn't blame her.
In fact, maybe it's an approach that could be adopted in all workplaces for some of the sleepier members of staff!
