I made a serious error last night. After arriving home from Hawaii, I let myself take a nap at about 6 pm, when I felt too tired to keep my eyes open. The nap lasted until 3 am (which is 8 am in Hawaii, the perfect time to get up). Oops.
Normally I force myself to stay awake until 10 pm at my arrival destination and that helps me to get a good night's sleep and to wake up at the right time the next day. Because of last night's nap, I'll spend the next day or two feeling groggy, making stupid mistakes or forgetting things I'm supposed to be doing. When I do, please blame it on my jet lag.
On second thought, maybe that nap wasn't such a bad idea after all.
