Sleeping in
Between Middenmeer and Washington D.C there's a time difference of six hours.
The first night in the States I was rather tired and after a brief waking up at 2:45, I slept nicely until 9:00 o'clock. The second day, which was my first working day, I woke up around 5:00. On Thursday I woke up at 5:45 in the morning, and yesterday around 7:00 o'clock. I went to be around 22:00 o'clock each night.
Today, Saturday, we slept in, and I woke up somewhere around 9:00 o'clock, which is a great feeling. I think my body is now pretty much adjusted to the new timezone.

Hi guus
Yes, I'm also curious if the two of you have decided on the new apartment yet?

Hi Guus,
In general, your body 'handles' one hour of time difference a day. So after 6 days, you should have your old rhythm again. How many days are there between Monday and Sunday?
It's your getting-up time that triggers your biological clock, not your sleeping-in time. So if you want to adjust quick, get out at the time you have to adjust to.
All of this is easier when traveling west. Your biological clock easier delays than catch up.
Regards,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I think I'm back into my usual schedule now; going to bed around 23:00 and waking up at 7:00 (or 11 pm and 7am as they say here). I slept in again today, after all it's Sunday. We had breakfast: together, coffee, bread (with cheese of course, me being Dutch): great morning.

Hello Guus,
It's good to see you're making yourself at home in Washington! I would really like to trade places, C# has a lot in common with JAVA so that won't be the problem :-) Your new project at work is also with JAVA? Or is it something completely different?
Gr,
Niels
