After a stay of just over 3 weeks, we got back from the States last Tuesday week. (West Coast - 9 hours' difference)
I had a hair appointment last Thursday at 9 am which I made OK, but it took me till Sunday to really get back into the routine.
Or so I thought.
It's now over a week and I am still sleeping at odd times. It's no good trying to stay awake when I really want to sleep (often for 2 hours at a time mid-morning or even late afternoon) - or even trying to sleep when I'm not tired. I went to choir practice on Thursday evening but overslept on Sunday and had to excuse myself for not singing with them at morning Mass (big event: First Communion for the kids in the village)
Not to mention the fact that my digestive system is all over the shop.
I didn't have much difficulty adjusting on the way out, but I feel totally disorientated after the return crossing from West to East. It may be that I am no longer working and haven't had to get up for anything except that hairdresser's appointment, but what can I do to re-align my Circadian rhythm?
DH has suggested going for a walk or swimming in the afternoons. I did think of that myself, so I'll be trying that.
What cures can anyone else suggest?
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
I laughed today and it felt good.
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
