differently, with some people adapting quickly and others really
struggling with the difference. I probably falling somewhere in
between! Every 15 degrees of longitude is equal to about 1 difference
in time zones. There are 4 hours difference between Springs and Alaska,
so really when I first get to Alaska and everyone is ready for dinner,
I’m ready for bed! On the other hand, getting up early is easy as it
feels like I got to sleep in. I’m realizing that consistent exercise,
good eating habits and rest seem to help get my body adjusted faster to
the time differences, but with all the amazing new things I’m
experiencing, sometimes it’s hard to find time to rest!
Stay tuned in!
