If these posted sentiments are correct, then try this . . . . At about 7pm tonight, go place a chair in your clothes closet (preferably without the clothes) and sit there with the closet door closed for at least nine hours (this simulates night flying westbound, have a bright light ready if eastbound). Run a few vacuum cleaners outside of your closet to simulate engine noise. Try to stay awake - you may also read with a nightlight if you wish. After about nine hours or so, go stand by your bed and wait for about fifty minutes (this simulates waiting for your destination hotel room that is being readied for an early am check in). Take a long nap, then go to a coffee shop and eat. Walk around your street for an hour or so, and then do all of this again. Repeat this scenario several times within a week, and continue it for a month or two (and remember the small paycheck).
On the flip side, there should be some room for adventure (both adverse and fun), and what would be wrong with that?
