Last night I was determined to prep myself for being six hours ahead of normal. My goal was to wake up at 04:00 so that I wouldn't sleep away the daylight hours in South Africa.
Well, a little late television checked my reality enough that I moved my alarm up to 05:00. Surely, that was realistic. ... but when my alarm went off at 05:00, and then 05:09, and 05:18, I should've conceded victory to the snooze button. I didn't though. I granted myself nine more minutes for almost the next three hours.
So I didn't wake myself up early to prepare for the time jump, but I did wear myself out enough give it another try tommorow; the first day of travel.
