Rip Van Winkle ain't got nothing on me
2008 April 27
I went to bed last night at 9pm (after already taking a 3-4 hour nap during the day) with a splitting headache, the shivers and the sweats.
I honestly thought I wouldn’t sleep long, if at all, knowing what I’m like, yet one minute I was looking at the clock and it was 9:15pm and the next it was 11:15 am.
That’s 14 hours, plus almost 4 earlier in the the day for a total of 18 hours sleep. That’s just not like me!
I normally exist on 4 – 5 hours sleep a night tops.
Yet I must have needed it. Today I feel a bit better. The sweats are gone, and the headache is considerably less powerful.
I reckon I’ll be back to 100% for traveling tomorrow.
See, when the time comes, ole Rip Van Winkle ain’t got nothing on me!

WOW! In that amount of time you slept you could ALMOST have slept through a entire FMB Pub Quiz…just kidding. Get your rest, you are going to need it in London and then in Chicago. I can almost project what the blog will be on when you return…How An Irishman Deals with Jet Lag.
Guinness solves all things… including jetlag
Agreed with Scot, I think you need to get ahead on your sleep, not sure how much you’ll be getting in Chicago!
@Sara Yep
Should be a full docket for the trip. You and I will be very busy 
Nature has a way of looking after our bodies if we don’t. Good that you allowed it to take its course. Safe trip to you.
Not me… I’ve got to have at least eight hours or I’m a zombie the next day.

18 hours of sleep! I can hardly remember the last time I even got 8 hours of sleep.
