Jetlagged

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Asia.  I’ve never handled jetlag well, when I go to the west coast, I don’t bother switching time zones, I just wake up at 4:30am every day and go to bed at 8pm. 

I recently got back from Hong Kong on a Sunday evening and went to work the next day.  First day back at the office was fine, but the rest of the week was beyond horrible.  I powered through and stayed up till 11pm but I’d wake up at 3am and find myself unable to sleep and eventually giving up hope.  I took short power naps in the office to get through the rest of the day, but also slept through a meeting.

By Friday, I finally had a good night’s rest.  But that night I stayed out late, woke up early the next day.  By 1pm I couldn’t stay awake anymore, so I figured I’d take a short nap but then didn’t wake up till 8pm.  Now I’m re-living my week of jet lag hell all over again.
