Tired

Oh boy, am I tired! I'm so jet lagged. I thought I had resolved this by falling asleep at 11PM Dubai time the night before. Apparently, that only worked because I had been so exhausted from three prior nights of very little and spotty sleep. Now you tell me. ;-)

I went to bed at 11PM last night, and it took me until 4AM to fall asleep, and I had to get up at 7AM. I would prefer to have more than 3 hrs rest before giving a presentation, but I'll work with what I have to work with. I always feel as though lying in bed, even awake, is better than being active and only getting 3 hrs sleep. Let's hope my brain buys that.

I have to sign in for the conference in an hour, and I plan to attend at least the first session to get a feel for the event. After that, I may try to take a nap, although I'm a bit afraid, because I requested a wake up call this morning, and it never came. I also set the alarm on my US cell phone, and it didn't go off.

This all leaves me unsettled about making sure I get up at 6AM tomorrow for my flight. I found out that my Dubai cheapo cell phone has an alarm, so I'm going to test that today. I also know there is an alarm on the TV, so I'll try that as well. I'm going to have Darcy give me a wake up call if we can figure out how to call here from the US (LOL), and I'm going to personally request a wake up call at the front desk, letting them know I didn't get today's call.

One of the four alarms is bound to go off, but the uncertainty probably won't make it any easier on me to sleep tonight after this morning's scare! :) I think I'll sleep with the shades open too so that I'll see daylight peeking in.

I'm off to get ready. Have a nice night's sleep! :)
