Good morning everyone from Hull. It’s after 2am on a Thursday morning that I am writing this diary. After one week here in the UK, I can’t get my sleeping pattern right. I would go to sleep around 8pm and I’m up again at 1-2am.
Then I open my laptop and start on my work. I hit the sack at 3am and up at 6am. That’s been my routine for the past week. According to Dreams UK, when you cross over time zones there’s a dramatic shift in your exposure to light, so it can take some time for your body clock to adjust to this change.
How long, it doesn’t say. Scrolling through the different studies on the net shows there are several common reasons that affect the body clock such as number of time zones crossed, how fast you travel and the direction you travel in.
The last one then hit me — I travelled eastward through the US to the UK, leaving Nadi on Wednesday night and arriving in London midday the same day. Well I hope the cold weather here can help.
It has been freezing cats and dogs, and winter has just started. Yesterday the Bati boys had a light scrimmage with Toa Samoa at the Hull KR ground after a gym session in the morning.
In the evening, team manager Tevita Korosaya took six players for a community engagement session with the Hull KR over 40s team and their persons with disabilities rugby side. Today the side shifts camp to Newcastle for their next game against Italy (1.30am on Sunday Fiji time).
The forecast – you guessed it. No, it’s not 28 degrees Celsius with fine blue skies. I wish! OK, until next time, sleep tight, stay warm and ni sa moce mada.
