Inconsistent Thinking

Saturday, November 14. 2009

Today, something rather bizarre happened. While I was ordering coffee, I felt like having a hot coffee as the environment was rather cold there and drinking something warm would feel good. Little did I realise, I made an order for an iced version instead, without even realising the thought inconsistency. I was offered a packet of sugar which I promptly refused as my drink to come is cold.

It was only when my coffee arrived that I realised that the coffee is cold and that I actually wanted hot coffee instead in the beginning. All these happened within the span of 20 minutes.

This is really bad; I’m severely sleep deprived and still jet lagged. I shall have a sleeping pill tonight and hope that I don’t wake up at 4 am tomorrow morning again, as it has been the last 4 days.

If this still doesn’t help, I need to find a way to reset my Circadian rhythm, fast.

How far did you push your sleep time later? I suppose if you push it all the way from 8pm to 1/2am, you shouldn’t wake up at 4am.. that’s barely enough time for one sleep-cycle.

My brute force method when shifting 7-8h is to stay awake for an extra day - ie wake up and stay up until following correct bedtime - but it’s extremely stressful on the body (and mind) due to the stimulant use. No idea if that’s worth it with a 2h shift.

Hi cflee,

I did try pushing it back to 12 am, but I still work up at 4 am the following morning. Tried going back to sleep but it was really hard. So, I clocked in no more than 5 hrs in total that night.

I think I’ll try the brute force method next week if things still don’t get better. Hopefully before I get crazy or hallucinations.

Thanks. =)
