Almost final thoughts and when not to take Ambien

After a couple days of little sleep in Nairobi and the overnight flight to London, I arrive Rome mid-afternoon fairly exhausted.  Rome, of course, is a very vibrant and exciting city and I feel compelled to spend at least sometime during the first day having a look around.  About 7:00pm I given in and head back to my room (which has a very nice view of the Pantheon) and collapse.  By 8:00pm I'm fast asleep.  I wake to some street noise and look at the watch and it appears to be 2:00am.  Sounds about right and I decide to take 1/2 an Ambien so I can sleep for another 6 hours and be ready for a full day.  A little while longer I notice there's light coming through the window.  It appears I was looking at the wrong time zone on my watch and it was really 6:00am.  Crap.  It appears that 10 cups of coffee and 2 pseudophed tabs will offset the effects of 5mg of Ambien - now, if that chest pain would just go away.  ;-)
