The Sin of Jet Lag Pride

| Travel

I had a fool-proof yet self-destructive method for surviving radical time zone changes. Here's how it goes:

  1. Don't sleep on the plane. Not because I don't want to, but because I can't.
  2. Stay up until a reasonable bedtime hour in the destination city, eat a light dinner, take Tylenol PM and go to sleep.
  3. Second night, more Tylenol PM
  4. Repeat until returning home.

I broke the pattern and didn't take anything last night, which meant I didn't sleep. There are few things as painful as arguing about punctuation in CSS for twelve hours on no sleep.
