As is usual when I travel, although I was able to get to bed at reasonable hours, I had little real sleep. I spent most of my nights dozing until very early in the morning. This happens for several reasons, only one of which is that I am excited about the next day’s activiites, and am eager for the time to wake up. I can sustain this kind of sleep for several days, and did so on my trip to Seattle. I arose early, not tired, and was eager for the day’s events. I pursued through the day, and finished in the early evening, returning to rest to my hotel room. I did not sleep until late, but used the early evening as recuperative resting time.
Until the last night of my trip, when, with the diverted plane flight, things were unsettled for some time, I did fine. I did not do poorly even when my trip was diverted. I think we finally got to the hotel in El Paso about 9 PM. I was tired but not sleepy, and knowing me, this combination means I will not sleep if I try. So, I stayed up until I was sleepy. Which was fine, except, of course, once again I slept that drifting in and out sleep which does not give me the rest I need. It was about midnight when I went to bed, and I arose at 4 AM as planned, to be ready to get to the airport in time to get my flight to Dallas. I got to Dallas, and had a 2 and a half hour lay-over go get to Lubbock. There is simply no flight sooner than that. But, I got home
