Jet Lag

You can see why sleep deprivation is a favourite among torturers.

A few day after my return from Vietnam, I find myself continuing to nod off at 6:30 p.m. and wide awake watching Oprah on PVR at 2:30 a.m.

I figure eventually -- like some time in 2011 -- I should return to a regular routine.

Any tips?

I went to Singapore to visit my aunt and uncle when I was 18 and they made us get up early the day we got there and go for a long hike and we weren't allowed to nap, that way we'd be tired at the end of the day. I'd say just force yourself to stick to a strict schedule and try going for a long walk in the mornings or right before bed so you'll be more tired at the end of the day. It generally works for me.

I know it's too late now, but for future reference, the key is not to succumb at 6:30pm. If you can make it until 9pm, there's a good chance you'll be so GD exhausted you'll sleep all the way through until 5am-ish.
