Today my schedule was shaken in a number of ways.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After boarding the ship, we went to bed a little late.\u00a0 Perhaps the new environment and the rocking of the boat resulted in the first 25mn<\/strong> of light sleep.<\/p>\n

The day before we had taken 13,600 steps<\/a> (about double or triple of what I’ve been doing lately).\u00a0 So I could definitely feel by legs much more tired. An hour of deep sleep followed the light sleep.\u00a0 A slight congestion was setting in (perhaps due to a weak immune system or to the recirculating air of the inner ferry cabins).<\/p>\n

So my tiredness, congestion and the prospect of a full day on Saturday made me wonder if it would be better to sleep in.\u00a0 So I gave myself 4h<\/strong> and woke up.\u00a0 Like a ghost in an abandoned ship, I would roam the empty shops, caf\u00e9s and saloons. Occasionally some crew would appear, look in disbelief and disappear again.\u00a0 Some passengers who couldn’t afford the cabins had managed to hide in the restaurant’s sofas for a better night sleep.\u00a0 It was comforting to enjoy the boat and the sea (the waves hitting the port and starboard in the darkness) without the crowd of loud and drunk Brits.\u00a0 This, however, made it harder to stay awake.\u00a0 I sat and doodled ideas to process the sleeping data.
