Whatever gets you through the yawns
On his blog Speak to Lead, Lou Hampton tells this great story in an article about overcoming tiredness during media interviews:
A former colleague was in the green room at the Today Show when another guest, a popular actor know for his action films, came in, sat down, and dozed. When it was time, he went into the studio, sat down and while being miked appeared to doze some more. About 20 seconds before the show was coming back from commercials, he stood up, shook both fists and let out a war cry, sat down and gave a high-energy interview. As soon as the show went to break, he slouched down and looked exhausted. He knew how to BE ON when it counted.
