1. Sunday: We got home at around 2pm. We both felt so tired. The plan was to force ourselves to stay up until at least 9pm so we'd konk out and wake up early the next morning. What ended up happening was David went down for a nap at 4pm and I ended up crawling in, too. He woke up at 8pm. Me? I woke up at midnight. Of course, I couldn't fall back asleep until 4am. But I did manage to get up around 8ish to go to work.
2. Monday: In an effort to stay awake, we played a computer game and lost track of time and ended up sleeping at midnight. For some reason, I could not fall asleep until 4am and I did not wake up until 10am the next morning.
3. Tuesday: Same problem, except I managed to sleep at 3am.
4. Wednesday & Thursday: I can't remember what happened these two days now. Probably similar to Monday & Tuesday.
5. Friday: I tossed a little and eventually fell asleep but could not wake up in the morning to go to church. I did feel a little bit onset of sickness, but nothing severe. I ended up getting out of bed at 1pm and listened to 2 sermons online. *sigh.
6. Saturday & Sunday: I finally felt a little sleepy when I closed my eyelids at midnight! Really thank God and I got two relatively normal nights of sleep even though I'd still fight to get out of bed at a reasonable hour.
As you can see, I had a crazy & abnormal sleep pattern this past week. But I feel like there's more to the abnormality than jet lag alone can explain. Even before the trip, I'd resist going to sleep until at least after 11pm. I really don't know why. I think I just have no self control. Hopefully in confessing this, I'll be more motivated to control my sleep & wake times better.
