It is the most ignored meal of the day, as it is the first thing that gets sacrificed for extra sleep, and the effects are disastrous in the long run. Not only does it make your metabolism to go down, but it also makes you feel edgy and irritated. One should start making a conscious effort to have a hearty breakfast in the morning.
