Interesting Biological Note

On Monday morning, I awoke with a start at 5:30 am, an hour prior to my alarm clock’s set time. On Tuesday morning, I awoke at 5:00 am. This morning, I awoke at 4:00 am. I have also been getting tired earlier in the evenings and finding myself falling asleep in my chair or heading to bed much earlier than usual.

 

M thinks it is because I have a strange habit of “preparing” for my trips back east and the 4 hour time difference. Which is as plausible as anything I can come up with!

 

What that hopefully means is that I will sleep on the LAX to Toronto part of the flight, rather than staying awake mindless and numb through the dark hours. For me, the term “red-eye” is an actual fact. Plus, I do not think I stand any chance of sleeping on the Toronto to SJ flight—those prop planes are just too noisy, even with ear plug or music to listen to, for anything close to restful sleep.

 

I have about an hour to go before I head home. A couple of things to do at home, most importantly packing my cell phone charger and the PBJ I made this morning, and then the Shuttle will be arriving to pick me up and whisk me away for my 10:30 pm flight.

 

Which, by the way, is another irritant—Canada is considered international, so I have to be there 3 hours early to check in and go through customs. But in order to get there, Super Shuttle is picking me up at a little after 5 pm because of the hectic after-work traffic between here and LAX. If we cruise through traffic, I could be to LAX a good 4 to 4.5 hours before my flight! And, since I did web check in and already have my boarding pass printed, I only have to worry about security. So I should have a good long wait at LAX.
