Every year, Americans face a peculiar challenge the day after the Super Bowl. With over 22.6 million people planning to miss work, the Monday following the big game has unofficially become known as Super Bowl Monday. This trend only seems to grow, surpassing previous records with millions opting to recover from the fervor of the Super Bowl festivities. Many see this as strong proof that Super Bowl Monday should be recognized as a national holiday, a day to recover and regroup after the intensities of game day celebrations.
