Sometimes, we get so tired after a long day's job, and it's almost as if we were hit by one invisible stick that just knocks us down to the extent that you won't even be able to keep your eyes opened. Don't even get me started on the combining factors that can add to the stress; the traffic and the sun being very prominent factors. We all have those days. Now after a very stressful day like this, a lot of us don't know that we're supposed to relax and unwind in order for us to be well rested for the next day.
