Whenever Meghan goes out of town, I find myself falling into a familiar pattern. I stay up later and later. I do that when I travel as well. When I first moved to Erie and was out of work, I stayed up until about 4:00 every night, sleeping until 1:00 or so in the afternoon. I think that’s my natural sleep cycle. Going to bed at 10:00 and getting up at 6:00AM is just not natural for me.
Staying up late is not smart though, since I do have to get up early. I have to make it to work by 8:00AM. I’ve been doing this for many years and you’d think it’d get easier, but it doesn’t.
