When you go on vacation, does your sleep schedule get all screwed up?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I don’t really have a work schedule. My schedule today was wake up 11am. Work for a bit. Nap at 6pm until 1am. It is now 2:35am and I will probably be awake until 9am. And from there your guess is as good as mine. I haven’t owned a alarm clock in over a decade. I actually have a more regular schedule when I am on a vacation. ¯\(ツ)/¯
