Jet Lag

Jet lag, also called jet lag disorder, is a temporary sleep disorder that can affect anyone who quickly travels across multiple time zones. Jet lag is caused when your body's internal clock or circadian rhythms, which tell your body when to stay awake and when to sleep in the old time zone, are out of sync with cues from the new time zone, such as light exposure and dining times. The more time zones crossed, the more likely you are to experience jet lag. -- Mayo Clinic 

Arriving back into Kuwait this year came with a little swagger. Heidi had a brutal schedule of having to work the next day after arriving, but we were not worried. For one reason or another, we both had avoided any serious jet lag in our recent travels and were confident we could do it again. Well, our luck might officially run out. We have followed the rules of avoiding jet lag. 

• no naps
• normal eating times
• going to bed a normal times
• getting outside
• working out

but even with all of the precautionary measures we have both woken up at 2 in the morning each day. With work starting tomorrow fingers are crossed that a full night of sleep can be had, or else naps are going to be back in our lives.
