Wondering where I am? I’m working. From Monday morning at 9:30 until tonight at 9:30 I’ve been awake and working solid on editing videos. Tonight will be the thrid and final all-nighter in a row.
I’ve been in this strange groove of focussed work and caffeine. Time’s stopped. I feel simultaneously exhausted and energetic. 60 hours of this and I have the classic jet-lag symptoms. Except that I’ve been in the basement of an office building non-stop.
I feel surprisingly OK, but look forward to a really long sleep tomorrow! Time to get back to it—I’ve got to get to work on an energetic short about trash cleanup in Antarctica.

(Actually this whole role-reversal thing is beginning to freak me out)

1) Make sure that you eat well as your immune system will be taking a beating at the moment.
2) Don’t oversleep on the first day, rather, try to get back into your sleep pattern.
3) Teach your brain that it is time to sleep by warming up your body with a hot bath, warm uncaffeinated drinks and a good meal.
4) Don’t nap over the next few days as you will get jet lag which can take ages to get over. (A 20 minute power nap is fine, but any longer and you will go into deep sleep cycles.)
Take care
