Jet lag

Although I have been back in work since Monday I am still having difficulty shifting my sleeping back to this time zone. I wake up too early and can barely stay awake toward the end of the evening. Yesterday evening by 22h my vision was blurring, I even skipped cleaning my teeth and collapsed directly into bed. Earlier in the week I could not stay awake for any drama that we put on television after 20h, at least last night I managed to watch an episode of Criminal: France (2019).

This surprises me, usually I have been able to simply stay up later, heading west is typically the easier for me and in recent years I have adjusted decently to eastward as well. Though, I am more used to the US East Coast, a five-hour shift from Britain. Eight hours is more than I have faced before but surely it should be easy now to finish resyncing.

Tea-related hindsight

I made myself a little bag of assorted teabags for drinking at work. When I pour the water from the kettle, I discover which kind of teabag I have as the various kinds promptly color the water differently. However, for example, my wont is to pour boiling water onto black tea but to use water just shy of boiling for green tea. I thus find that I need to know which kind of tea it is in order to perform the operation that tells me.
