I have previously experienced the phenomenon where a red-eye flight makes two days feel like they have been a single, very eventful, day. But apparently now it is happening in advance. I just thought “tomorrow I have [Wednesday plans] and Thursday I have [Thursday plans] and Friday I have a plane flight and [Saturday plans].
Huh, you mean hotels *don’t* do that to you?
I haven’t been on a red-eye, but I find *any* multi-day trip away from home feels like a single, very eventful day, with naps. Days don’t increment properly unless I sleep in my *own* bed; sleeping in a borrowed/rented bed does not count.
I have been known to catch myself doing things like thinking something was five days ago when it was actually fourteen, because I’d spent nine of the intervening days in America.
(”after one nap it’ll be time for [Wednesday plans], and after two naps it’ll be time for [Thursday plans]…”)
(Unfortunately, I hadn’t consciously realised this was a thing during the only move between houses I’ve ever done (not counting the pre-sapient move), so I don’t have any data on how long it takes for the days to start running again after you change the definition of “home”.)
