\"\"It was a dream come true for millions of Taylor Swift fans, after the superstar released her latest album, \u201cThe Tortured Poets Department,\u201d at midnight on Friday. For Swifties who stayed up to listen and savor every last tune, perhaps over and over, the shock of that morning alarm was probably \u201clike driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street.\u201d<\/p>\n

Losing sleep can wreak havoc on your mind and body, experts say. In fact, missing out on just one night\u2019s sleep can trigger physical symptoms, such as upper respiratory issues, aches and gastrointestinal problems,\u00a0studies have shown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A lack of sleep also slows reaction times \u2014 so be careful while driving \u2014 and worsens logical reasoning and the ability to perform tasks such as reading complex sentences and doing simple math.<\/p>\n

However, there are actions you can take\u00a0after lost sleep<\/a>\u00a0to make it through the day in the safest way possible, according to experts.<\/p>\n

Get some sunshine after the midnight rain<\/h3>\n

Follow Swift\u2019s lead by flooding your eyes with light as soon as that pesky alarm goes off. Use natural sunlight to see \u201cdaylight,\u201d or turn on artificial lights, especially those in the blue spectrum, which tell the body to wake up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strongest reset for the circadian system is bright light,\u201d said Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the Center for Circadian and Sleep Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.<\/p>\n

\u201cLight in the morning changes the oscillation of your circadian clock genes at both a cellular and molecular level,\u201d she told CNN in a\u00a0prior interview<\/a>. \u201cYou are also training all your rhythms, whether it\u2019s sleep, blood pressure, heart rate or your cortisol rhythm to be earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shake it off (literally)<\/h3>\n

Shake off the grogginess the next morning with a mini dance party to Swift\u2019s catchy tunes, suggests Mina Dasgupta, the 11-year-old daughter of sleep specialist Dr. Raj Dasgupta, a pulmonary and sleep medicine specialist at Huntington Heath in Pasadena, California.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch shows that movement can boost circulation and increase alertness, helping you shake off that sleepiness faster,\u201d Daddy Dasgupta said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, blast your new favorite (Taylor) song and move your body to get the blood flowing and dance away those drowsy vibes,\u201d Mina added.<\/p>\n

You can also follow the pop star\u2019s lead and \u201cstrike a pose,\u201d Dasgupta said. \u201cYoga, that is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to carve out some time to engage in\u00a0light yoga or stretching exercises<\/a>\u00a0to get your blood flowing and invigorate your body,\u201d he said. \u201cYoga and other low-impact exercises have been shown to reduce stress, perfect for shaking off the sleepiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

You may need to calm down<\/h3>\n

Symptoms of daytime fatigue include a lack of motivation to accomplish everyday tasks, a lack of productivity at work, memory problems and a low interest in being social, experts say.<\/p>\n

There is another side effect as well: You may find yourself going ballistic over the slightest slight, perhaps even feeling like a \u201cnightmare dressed like a daydream.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSleep loss is strongly associated with reduced empathy and emotional regulation, often resulting in miscommunication and retaliation during conflict,\u201d Dasgupta said.<\/p>\n

Without enough sleep, your brain functions less efficiently, affecting your\u00a0<\/strong>coping skills, according to stress management expert Dr. Cynthia Ackrill,<\/strong> former editor for Contentment Magazine<\/strong><\/a>, produced by The American Institute of Stress<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have the bandwidth to recognize our choices, get creative or just see that we can choose not to be irritated or irritating,\u201d she\u00a0told CNN previously<\/a>. \u201cIrritability is one of the key signs of stress and poor sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t do \u2018coffee at midnight\u2019<\/h3>\n

Swift may sing about having coffee at midnight while in love, but it\u2019s not a good idea to overcaffeinate throughout the day as you struggle to shrug off sleepiness.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could limit your ability to sleep well that night,\u201d said sleep specialist Kristen Knutson, an associate professor of neurology and preventive medicine at Northwestern University\u2019s Feinberg School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

brain, Dasgupta suggested.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch shows that short naps can improve alertness, mood, and cognitive performance, helping you recover from sleep deprivation quickly and get that much-needed boost of energy to get you through the day,\u201d he said. \u201cJust make sure to keep it short and sweet \u2014 don\u2019t oversleep and end up in a deeper stage of your sleep cycle, he added.<\/p>\n

Then try to go prioritize sleep that night, Knutson suggested in an email.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlan to go to bed on time, if not a little earlier,\u201d she said. \u201cIn the hour or so before bed, engage in relaxing activities to prepare yourself for sleep.\u00a0And of course, listening to Taylor Swift counts as long as you turn it off before bed!\u201d<\/p>\n
