land in the morning local time, wake up, I'll make it through my day just fine. I'll power through the day because my sleep's generally good beforehand. So, I'll be pretty resilient, make it through the day, I will be exhausted by nighttime local time, and I'm essentially brute forcing my sleepwake homeostasis, even though I'm essentially my circadian rhythm is way off, but I'm tired when I want to be asleep and I am awake when I want to go around during the day and I'm getting the light exposure during the day and so I spend a lot of time outdoors when I travel. And so, I'm sort of brute forcing a little bit. It's like I'm not going to be fully adjusted and you know maybe if I'm there for a week I will be. But but those first few days I mostly make myself sleepy when I want to be unconscious at night when it's dark even though my body thinks it's daytime and be awake when the sun is out and be moving and don't nap. I do not nap for that reason because I'm I would be it's sort of like if you're taking a snack, don't if you're going to have a light snack, don't have it be at dinner time because that snack is going to be miserable because then you're going to wake up and you will have dropped into deep sleep and so >> so no naps when you're when you're travel, especially as you're still in the adjusting period, don't give yourself mixed signals
