I just got back from China and my sleep cycle is all messed up.
My sleeping has been broken up into two cycles, each about 4 hours. For the past couple of days, I've been taking a nap around 5 PM and waking up at 9PM. Then, later in the night, I go to bed at around 4AM and wake up 8AM.
I haven't noticed any problems with this sleeping setup. In fact, I haven't been tired or groggy at all in the mornings when I wake up at 8AM.
I'm not sure how much longer I can continue this but I would like to keep it up to see if there are any real benefits.

Mystery Time-out in NBA
They've really got to stop the mandatory time-out rule in every single NBA game.
I hate the fact that there has to be a mandatory time-out at the first stoppage of play after the 6 minute mark if no time-out has been called.
This totally disrupts the flow of the game and breaks it up into little chunks.
It makes little sense other than to block the natural flow of any good basketball game.
Think if you're a player, a fan, or an owner. Everybody in the building wants the game to continue. Only the TV producer wants to stop the game.
Well, screw TV. Ratings are going down the drain anyways, so why bother everybody with unnecessary commericals?
It would be so much easier if only players and coaches can call time-outs and only when they have possession of the ball.
In almost every NBA game, there are always a couple of mystery calls. Defensive 3 seconds is a really stupid call that they make, sometimes randomly.
Wait, didn't they allow zone defensives now? Kind of, only if you are not randomly standing in the lane guarding nobody in particular.
I see some of the benefits of this rule, but sometimes it seems like a ref would hesitate to make a 3 second defensive call if it was in the last 20 seconds of any regular or play-off game.
... In the background I have the John Tesh NBA on NBC music playing, and it's already getting me psyched up for an NBA game.

NBA on ESPN/ABC sucks
It's ruined even before the opening tipoff.
The intro song to last Sunday's Spurs vs. Mavs showdown was a Def Leppard song.
Horrible, compared to the 90's NBA on NBA John Tesh theme song.
Why can't ABC just ask John Tesh to make a new song for ABC? He's already created one all-time megahit, why can't he do it twice?
