The roads and trains stations of England were eerily empty this morning as a hungover nation mourned defeat.
Congestion levels in major cities and towns were significantly lower than usual this morning following the chaotic scenes in squares, pubs and living rooms last night.
The school run appears to have been less of a rat race than usual, with many children who stayed up to watch the agonising penalty shootout defeat far past their bedtimes allowed to head in late.
They were joined for a few extra hours in bed by those lucky to work for bosses who set late start times or gave their beer-sodden employees a day off today.
Congestion levels were down in all English cities this morning.
Traffic was 21% lighter than usual in Birmingham, while Bristol and Leicester's roads were 24% less full than a typical Monday morning.
Manchester and London traffic was nine and 11% lighter than usual, according to TomTom.
The country's rail network was also much less burdened than most Monday morning, with barely a sole to be seen on most London platforms including the Tube at Wembley.
The lack of people out and about on what is shaping up to be a wet and miserable start to the week has really reinforced the sense that today is the morning after the night before.
While the completed tally is not yet in for the final, there's a strong chance the 6.8million pints drunk during England's semis clash with Denmark will have been bested last night.
The sheer volume of rubbish left littered across the streets and town squares of the country gives a hint at the scale of some fans' experiences on Sunday.
A deep layer of broken glass and empty tins was left in Leicester Square in London after thousands of rowdy fans occupied the destination for hours, uprooting trees, launching cones and breaking a Burger King shopfront in the process.
Those involved in the chaos - which saw 45 people arrested across the Capital by the Met - have either staggered into work this morning or find themselves among a lucky few with kindhearted bosses.
Among their number is Chris Donnelly, 30, who told his 65 workers not to come into work after the historic match against Italy - regardless of the result.
Last week he said: "This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity when it comes to England and I want everyone to enjoy it. Besides, this is about staff welfare.
"With all the stress of the game there will be enough to worry without the thought of work the next day too."
Headteachers across the country have been similarly reasonable.
Schools in areas including Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Herefordshire, Lincolnshire, West Midlands, County Durham, West Yorkshire, Lancashire and London are offering shorter days.
Gemma Donnelly, head of Braywick Court School in Bray, Berkshire, told parents that children will not be marked as late so long as they're in by 10.30am.
In a letter to families, she said: "This gives you the option to stay up late and watch the match, or watch it in the morning before coming to school if you would like to."
Although it may not be much use to heartbroken England fans today, an additional Euros related Bank Holiday day may still be on the cards.
Hundreds of thousands of people signed an original petition calling for an emergency Bank Holiday in the event of a win.
Now they're changing their pleas to a day off to allow for a time to mourn the Three Lions' loss.
Cabinet ministers and insiders had put August 27 down as a possible date for a bank holiday, reports the Telegraph.
Whether or not Boris Johnson decides to go ahead with the plans remains as yet unknown.
