Find out how to function when you haven't slept

If you've had a sleepless night and you've got a Men's Health magazine subscription you could get some help to ensure you function well the following day.

To make sure you look slightly brighter and to get rid of that pasty skin tone, Men's Health magazine recommends exfoliating.

"Polishing the skin through the use of ingredients such as rice bran and exfoliation can increase microcirculation and help bring vital oxygen and nutrients to the skin," Lesley Corridan from the International Dermal Institute told Men's Health magazine.

To ensure you stay alert and vaguely awake, you could engage in some light cardiovascular exercise.

Splash your face with water then embark on a five-minute jog, suggests Men's Health magazine.

And last but not least, give your body some down time to get your creative juices flowing.

Men's Health magazine advises consuming some caffeine and having a short nap to boost your energy levels during the day.

Ideally, you should be trying to get a good night's rest - at least six hours - because researchers from the University of Warwick have said lack of sleep can raise the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
