Line from an IM chat with an American friend, re: my habit of staying up very late:
“Your sleep schedule amazes me. I often forget that we are actually in different time zones!”
Another friend from home told me last night that she thinks my body is on Eastern Standard Time, rather than Central European Time. And actually, I think this might be the source of the problem. I have a US-based job and as such, I am always subtracting 6 hours from whatever time it is in Paris. I have been blaming my sleep troubles on insomnia, but perhaps my body is confused because I’m trying to live in two time zones at once. Sometimes I have conference calls or web-based meetings at 1:00 a.m. my time. Most of my work is done online and you know, the sun never sets on the internet. The lights never go out.
Sometimes I wish I didn’t own a computer.

Well, you’re not alone. I living in PST but I think my time zone is adjusted to Hawaii or Tokyo. Bad, I know. Better adjusted back since I’ll be having finals starting next week.
Now, where’s my pillow?
