Staying up for the match? How to handle a 1am kick-off

Summary

The England football team will play Mexico in a World Cup match starting at 1 a.m. on a Monday. This late kickoff makes it hard for fans to get enough sleep, especially if they have work or school the next day. Experts suggest three main sleep plans to handle the timing: staying on North American time, sleeping before and after the game, or staying up all night and catching some sleep later.

Key Facts

  • The England vs. Mexico World Cup match begins at 1 a.m. and will last at least until 3 a.m., possibly ending even later with extra time or penalties.
  • Watching the late match can disrupt fans’ sleep schedules, affecting their mood, concentration, and safety the next day.
  • Sleep experts recommend three strategies:
  • Lack of sleep worsened by alcohol decreases sleep quality and impairs mental and physical performance.
  • Being tired after staying up late increases the risk of accidents and lowers empathy and patience.
  • Experts advise avoiding important decisions, difficult conversations, or driving after such a night.
  • The advice varies depending on whether someone is naturally an early riser or a night owl.
