Oh crap!! Its Monday again. I am sure a lot of us (or rather all of us) feel this way on a Monday morning. And we all know its called Monday morning blues.But did you know that there is a scientific explanation for that.
Here's what an article in ehow.com has to say about it.
"Our internal clocks naturally operate on a day that is longer than 24 hours. By the time Monday rolls around each week, we've built up a sleep deficit of at least an hour. Of course, the weekend revelries and facing another work week don't help matters"
They also have steps to make our Monday mornings a little easier. So check them out.

Every day as I traveled to work I could see 6 out of 10 people around me all wired up to their mp3 players or psp or gameboy or mobile phones. All of them were lost in the world of music, games and what not. While my 45 minute journey to work was rather dull and lousy b'coz I didn't have anything to wire me up. So I decided to join the bandwagon. I got myself a new PSP. I can now play games, listen to music, watch videos and what not. My 45 minute journey just went away like a breeze as I started playing games and listening to my favourite songs all blaring loudly into my ears. Ofcourse I had heard that loud noises can cause damage to my ears. But then all the loud music from the songs and special effects from the games made it really exciting. After a few days I started getting this mild pain in my ears. Now that started to get me worried and I started surfing the net to find out "How Loud is too loud?" .
And here is an interesting site that just tells that.

Ok I know that music is great to listen and enjoy. All that I want to say is listen to it but keep it low enough to protect your ears. Don't damage your ears forever.
Here's a a nice animated video that I found on Youtube that gives the same great advice.
