Super Bowl Sunday has pretty much become a national holiday. And while it's more enjoyable when the Patriots are in it (we've been pretty fortunate), it's still a great day to cook up (or order) a spread of delicious appetizers & foods, gather with friends and family, enjoy a couple libations and some commercials and football. But then comes the next day. Ugg.

A new survey shows that 40% of Americans are more tired than usual the day after the Super Bowl. Many people infamously call out sick for a plethora of made-up reasons. So one New York teenager has started a change.org petition to permanently move the Super Bowl from Sunday to Saturday.

Frank Ruggeri, the high school junior who started the petition tells CNN, "more people will watch, the NFL will get more money and more people would travel to the game if it were on a Saturday." Plus you could sleep that Super-Hangover off in the comfort of your own bed.

So far the petition has over 65,000 signatures. If you'd like to see it for yourself - or join in and sign - IT'S RIGHT HERE! Personally I won't be signing. I like Super Bowl Sunday... and I don't mind working when my head's a little foggy.
