I’ve done it, you’ve done it, we’ve all done it: hit the snooze button one too many times, leaving hardly any time to look presentable, let alone eat a half-decent breakfast. This probably isn’t the wisest decision, considering how important breakfast is for your health—eating breakfast has been shown to promote weight-loss, lower cholesterol, and improve concentration—but if you’re anything like me, all the healthy benefits in the world are often no substitute for sleeping in just five more minutes. Can I get an amen?
