Mr Sandman hates me...

Well I guess the payback for my almost-jet-lag-free trip in March is my current state of odd-sleepiness. The trip was long (with flights and with stopovers and layovers it was about 15 hours from boarding the first plane to leaving the last; no wonder the ticket was cheap!).

I got into my flat at about 4pm Wednesday afternoon, unpacked a little and forced myself to stay awake as long as possible. I went to sleep about 10:30 pm and was wide awake at 4 am.

Thursday I went into work, caught up on a lot but was exhausted by 2 pm. Went back home took a short nap, at and was in bed by 10. Wide awake at 3:3 am. Argh!

It’s been like that the last few days. Wake up at stupid o’clock, be dead tired in the afternoon. I have tried not napping, but it seems impossible to stay awake.  I am hoping that my body adjusts soon.

My experience of jet lag is rarely that I feel like it is a different time (like the one of the time zone I came from), for me more it is more like I feel like there is no time; I can look at the sun high in the sky and I have no perception of what time it could be.

Well fingers crossed that this all sorts itself out soon!

Maybe you are pregnant. :) That's my excuse for a similar problem.
