How To Seriously Mess With Your Internal Clock

  • Stay up too late Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights before the change back to Standard Time.
  • Get up at 3 a.m. that Sunday for a flight to LA.
  • Arrive in LA and, with a brief half-hour nap mid-day, stay up until nearly 11 Pacific Time.
  • Wake up before 6 a.m. PST Monday because your body thinks it's 10 EDT. And again on Tuesday. At least you're early for work and even squeeze in a gym visit.
  • Go out for Halloween Tuesday night and get about five hours' sleep. (This is now seven consecutive nights of 5-7 hours of sleep each night.)
  • Get about 7 hours' sleep Wednesday night after two social calls, and fly back to Orlando.
  • Get home, shower, change and go out.
  • Get home at 2 a.m., go to bed, get up at 9 to pack for a trip to Ft. Lauderdale.
  • Drive down mid-day, take a disco nap, and go out. Come back and stay in hot tub until after 2, and go to bed.
  • Saturday, get up around 11, do random touristy things, take a nap, go out. Come back and stay in hot tub/pool until 5 a.m. and go to bed.
  • Sunday, get up around 9:30, lie by the pool, take a nap, go out early. Come back and stay in hot tub/pool until midnight and go to bed.
  • Monday, drive back to Orlando.
  • Tuesday, attempt to get up at 6 a.m. to vote and go to work.
Seriously, I don't think I even know what day or time it is anymore. (Not that I'm complaining. Had a fun week, overall.)

  3. The hot tub sound awfully naughty....and I KNOW you aren't complaining. Now you know why I'm such a whacked-out freak....always flying, hotels every night, up at 4am, deal with hundreds of passengers each day.....makes a dude crazy! Enjoy the time warp.
