The Super Bowl, a night filled with eating yourself into a food coma and relentlessly cheering on your favorite team.

It's all great in theory, that is until you have to get up for work the next morning.

According to a recent survey by Kronos Workforce Institute, many plan not to.

The institute is calling Monday, Feburary 3, "the largest-ever anticipated day of Super Bowl-related absenteeism since The Workforce Institute at Kronos began tracking this phenomenon in 2005."

Using a poll surveying over 1,100 employees in the United States, The Workforce Institute at Kronos was able to estimate that 17.5 million American workers plan not to come in to work the Monday following the Super Bowl

Many are using their approved time off, while others are deciding to call in sick or take their chances ghosting their employeers and simply not showing up at all.

Either way, an extra day off sounds like perfect bliss to us.
