Yes, we all know that we should be getting our 7-9 hrs a night. However, sometimes that just doesn't happen.
Anyone have any coping strategies for the morning after?

Coffee and more coffee. And a few cookies. That was my college strategy, at least. Wouldn't work now for primal.

The day after never seems too bad, for some reason, but the second day after I'm completely useless, regardless of how much sleep I eventually got.
Coffee, standing up, regular exercise breaks for blood flow, and an acceptance that your brain will not be at full potential.
Lack of sleep is used as a stressor for military trainees around the world, and people can't think clearly when they are overly fatigued. The way someone acts when they are really really tired is a good indicator of their training level and innate judgement- they do the right thing (or not) when they can't think clearly enough to decide what the right thing is.

Coffee, Bawls, eggs, and fat.

Avoid further stress as best you can. "Coast" through the day, without wasting energy.

i guess it depends what you were doing all the previous night. i tend to just have coffee, a hot shower, go for a long walk and then try not to overdo it till i can get all the kids to bed and have an early night.

Fresh air, water!, light food choices, and distractions until you can get into bed early the following night. If the all-nighter was worth it, that naturally keeps the mood up.
Consider it an exercise - like some kind of hormetic stressor thing I read about here and there on the MDA.
