The first week of adjusting to the thirteen-hour time
difference between U.S. Central time and China time is always an education
experience for me—I get to see what it’s like to be a morning person, something
I haven’t been since sometime around middle school. My natural rhythm is going to sleep at two
and getting up at ten; my normal real-world adjustment is going to sleep around
midnight and getting up around seven; but this week I’ve been going to bed
around ten and getting up about five-thirty.
And not just getting up—getting up with energy and being
productive. Normally it does me no good
at all to wake up early—I accomplish nothing I’m not getting paid for (powerful
motivator to wake up, that) until at least noon.
The last few days, six to nine in the morning has been the
part of the day when I was most productive.
Usually, it’s about two to four in the afternoon and eleven until two at
night; I can get more done after midnight than the whole rest of the day put
together. Anyhow, it’s nice seeing how
the other half of you people live…by next week, I’ll be adjusted and hitting
the snooze button four times again.
