Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Okay, so I get this really weird form of jetlag. It's only started in the last year or two, so I'm guessing it's one of those joy-of-aging things. (OT, this July is my tenth anniversary of being a road warrior, go me!) So the night I get back from travelling, I am tired, but I always make myself stay up til at least 10 pm. This time around, I made it til 11, then I slept til 1pm the next day.

All of this would have at one point gotten me back on track quickly. Not so these days. So I then proceed to stay up til 5 am on Sunday/Monday, which was okay because I had Monday off. Then came Monday/Tuesday, when I stayed up til 2:30am when I had to get up at 9 the next day. Tuesday/Wednesday was especially fun, when I went to bed at 1:30am - progress, right? Except I woke up a few times in the night and then woke up at 7 and couldn't get back to sleep.

Wednesday night, I broke down and took a sleeping pill (OTC) and actually got 8 hours of sleep. Blessed, joyous sleep! So I was in such a good mood yesterday that after I got back from having dinner, I played drums for an hour, then caught up on some of the work I'd slacked off on, then talked to a friend for an hour on the phone, then read a story from bandombigbang, then burned a CD, then imported that CD into my iTunes, and posted on a comm looking for my song (Beth by Kiss) which meant I had to upload one in return. And yeah, by that time? 3 am.

*sigh* And then it was back to the waking up constantly, and then wide-awake at 6:45. This sucks and I want to sleeeeeeeeeeeep.

I'm going to stay in tonight, instead of going to play tennis, because a) I'm too tired, and b) I want to watch the premiere of FNMTV because I can't resist the novelty of music videos being played on MTV and the possiblility that I might get to see Panic at the Disco jam with Snoop Dogg. Thank you, Pete Wentz, you giant freak.

Also, thanks to mandieleigh pointing out the site, I am now the proud owner of this t-shirt:

It seems to me that you had a very extended trip to a very far away place, maybe that accounts for the extra bits of sleep disturbance? Maybe it's just taking your body longer to catch up from this one.

And I love the shirt!

Thanks!

And yeah, I know it's jetlag, but at the same time I'm annoyed with my own inability to police myself, and make myself go to bed at a reasonable hour.

It's because you're not old enough yet to value sleep above all other things (like me). :)

Thanks! They want pictures of people wearing their stuff, I think I may take one of me wearing the shirt sitting behind my kit. Whee, camwhore time! :D Of course, I'll have to wait for the shirt to actually get here first!
