On this trip I realized something very important about the way my body responds to world travel--my jet lag happens in the manner of a time-release tablet. Initially, I can't feel anything other than, of course, the residual stress from airport "security". Or, as I like to call it, "harassment". Then I keep going along, feeling a bit sleepy but fine, provided I incorporate a nap on day 2. By day 3, the tablet has fully released, and the coma kicks in.
Suddenly, I'm hit by the combined forces of narcolepsy and gravity, and my head WILL NOT come off the desk.
Unfortunately, it WILL come off the pillow every hour, on the hour, while I'm trying to sleep at night.
To make matters worse, the combination of 12-hour flights and menstruation means teenage-style spots. Let's just say I'm trying to avoid all mirrors.
