Experts suggest several ways to salvage your day after a terrible night's sleep. Instead of napping for too long, limit naptime to 15 minutes or simply rest and meditate with your eyes closed.

It's important to avoid napping too late in the day or for too long, as it may interfere with nighttime sleep. If napping isn't possible, taking a short break to engage in activities like walking or meditation can also help refresh the brain.
