Ugh. Caffeine?

indigo_rose99Yesterday was a GREAT day teaching. I got out early enough to eat dinner with a friend. By 5:30pm, I was ready to do a little studying, soak my tired feet, and be in bed in time for 10+ hours of sleep (alarm set for 4:15am).
Then the plan went bad. My email had gone nuts. My boss wanted me to buy a plane ticket. And review data. And do an early morning meeting..."You know, before you go to work." "Um.... I get up at 4:15am and my pre work morning is solidly packed with things that cannot be done during a conference call." "Oh, so 7am Eastern is good for you then. We'll keep it short. "
Alarm:3:45am
*fist of death*
Between the plane ticket and the minimum emails and the studying, it was 8pm before I got to bed. I resisted the melatonin urge because I've taken it the last few nights. I managed to sleep from 11pm to 2am. I woke up consumed with FistOfDeath thoughts, and could not get back to sleep until a few min before the alarm.
Yes, it only involved getting up 30 min early, but it's the IDEA!
I'm going to take an afternoon off next week.
