Took me almost 8-12 days before I returned to normal after spending 9 days in Oregon.
I generally find a 1:1 correlation between time gone and time back to normalcy.
but I only spent 95 days in hotels last year.
Patrick, believe it or not, in the last year or two you’ve become my standard for burly traveler. Any time I feel that inner whine about how long it takes and how tiring it is and how it takes me days to recover, I wonder how someone like you does it, traveling every week. I honestly can’t imagine. I’m sure you have tricks and methods, but overall you must be pretty beat up by the end of a week on the road.
I say while you are on a roll, just go with the sleep deprivation. Eventually, you will be walking and then just fall over and crash, sleeping until your body is fully recovered. But be sure to stay in your house when doing this, it would be embarrassing to fall over outside.
hee hee OH! And put a pillow around your body and a football helmet on your head! Extra protection!
My trick was to find a solution that required less travel. I still travel, but not nearly as much as 2008 and 2007.
I’m still trying to recover from the Daylight Savings Time changeover, so I have no idea what to tell you.
p.s.: It was great seeing you!
p.p.s.: My anti-spam word for this comment is “ikea.” Serious!
Patrick, that is a good solution. I’m happy for you.
Shai, as much as that advice makes some sort of sick sense, I just couldn’t pull it off. Fell dead asleep early last night and kept it up until the cracker today. Feel SO much better now. Can actually think.
Eisha, I pity those of you who have Daylight Savings Time to contend with. It seems so inhumane.
