The past couple of nights have been interesting. I get into insomniac cycles sometimes, most often when I’m extremely busy and also when I haven’t exercised regularly. Since the baby was born though, sleep has been more of a free-running notion and we take what we can get and are happy when its more than a few hours (even though I haven’t gone to the gym once since she was born).
The past couple of nights though my body has been up to its old tricks, with my eyes popping open at 2am or so and HI I’M AWAKE. Oh well, might as well creep off to the other room and get some stuff done. These bouts really aren’t all that bad, because I can usually pick off some tangible task that needs to get done. Last night it was balancing the checkbook, tonight it was watching the latest episodes of Rome.
As an added bonus I get to catch up with my friends and co-workers in different time zones. One guy just got to Europe where its daylight and he’s adjusting to the daylight. This was a good exchange on IM:
Bob: “So why are you up so early?”
Me: “Jetlag”
Bob: “But you didn’t go anywhere”
Me: “Yeah, but I like to keep my body primed for it”
