    Last week I had to leave on a road trip. I had to drive 11 hours somewhere, and to make the best time, I was leaving around midnight. So I was going to bed at 5 pm to be well rested. Now, any other day of the week, I have no problems falling asleep at this time if I have the chance. Normally, I can barely keep my eyes open since I have 2 young kids and work till 5 pm and will fall asleep easily if given the chance. This time? Nope, nothing, just me staring at the ceiling for 5 hours, realizing I was screwed… luckily, I had another driver and was able to cover 5 hours still before getting too tired… I even tried playing a phone game that puts me out if I play it for longer than 10 minutes. Let’s just say I never played it for over an hour before! The body sucks sometimes!
