Still woke up at 3:00 AM

So the sleep supplement worked beautifully when I arrived in New York a month ago. But back in Seoul it failed me and I woke up at 3:00 AM. I tried to go back to bed around 5:00 AM but just didn't fall asleep.

So now I have to fight jet lag the old fashioned way - by staying awake a stupid number of hours so I end up going to bed at a normal time even though I woke up early. So far I'm doing OK. I watched a few episodes of Dexter, ate a few meals, went outside for a workout, and went out for a late lunch.

Now I visit the in-laws, get dinner, come home, do some yoga, and hopefully stay awake until 10:00 PM. I'd settle for 9:00 actually...

Speaking fo exercise outside and yoga later and all that, I want to reinforce what I said about exercise making me a better traveler. The other day I was walking around New York City all day. In the old days my back would have been killing me. Not anymore. I thought I had a bad back - turns out it was just a weak back.

To further complicate things there's an Ebay auction I hope to win ending in about 17 hours - if I get back on schedule I'll be up by then anyway.
