What does "Spuren der kurzen Nacht" mean?

Found here:

Rund um den Deutschen Steuerberatertag bringen wir Sie und Ihr Team
aber nicht nur fachlich und organisatorisch in Bestform – auch
körperlich werden Sie gefordert: Joggen am Morgen, Tanzen am Abend,
Yoga gegen die Spuren der kurzen Nacht.

I have checked Duden, Oxford and Collins – both under Spur and Nacht, but couldn’t find this usage.

It means it's clearly visible (mostly in your eyes, face) and maybe because you're a little dizzy because your night was short (often implies partying, alcohol and more).

It means the negative effects ('traces') of not having enough sleep. The relevant definition of 'Spur' is #2 in Duden:

  1. von einer äußeren Einwirkung zeugende [sichtbare] Veränderung an etwas, Anzeichen für einen in der Vergangenheit liegenden Vorgang, Zustand
