Day 3 of the AWS re:Invent trade show is in the books. Tomorrow, Day 4, is the last.

Today felt easier than Day 2 yesterday even though both days were the same length. I think the difference is I got more sleep last night than Monday night.

Monday I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 4:30am Tuesday. I tossed and turned until 5:30 when I decided, "Screw it, I'm up." I think I'm suffering east coast jet lag. I was on the east coast for 9 days before spending just 16 hours at home in California and then turning around to come out here.

Knowing I may not be able to sleep past 5am again I went to bed earlier Tuesday night. I was asleep by 9pm. It wasn't hard as I was so worn out. Sure enough, I awoke at 5 on Wednesday. But I'd had a full night's sleep by then, so I got up and started my day. I used the early morning hours to catch up on work I put off Tuesday night. Successfully shifting my work schedule to match my jet-lagged sleep schedule reminds me of how I dealt with 8-hour time zone shifts when I was traveling monthly to Asia years ago.

Anyway, Day 3 is now done. Tomorrow, Day 4, the show floor is open 10am-4pm. My flight home departs at 8:30pm.

Will tomorrow be another 5am day? I don't think so. The jet lag is wearing off. It's already after 9pm and I'm not very tired. I do hope I can get to sleep soon and wake up kinda early, maybe 6? That'll give me a few hours in the morning to take care of stuff, including packing, checking out, and leaving my suitcase with the bell desk, before heading over to the show.
