Sleepless Nights? Learn Languages!

Travelling to another time zone can upset your body clock. In theory, you can keep moving your bedtime by an hour until you are almost on the same time zone as your destination. Or you can watch films on the plane and keep yourself awake until the local bedtime, by which time you are so tired that you are bound to fall asleep.

I discovered that if you are awake and worrying, you can kill the worries and make use of the time by learning languages. Or do any other task you have been postponing. After midnight, it's 'free' time. You can write your novel, tidy, clean. You can do an easy task and get it out of the way.That frees up the next day to do work or vital tasks. Or simply sleep.

Unpack. Or pack for your next trip. Or make a packing list.

Or learn a language.

I have recently been using duolingo. com which sends me regular reminders by email. 

My flashcards for Chinese were from thamesandhudson.com and cost me 12.95 

If you are tired and fed up, the latest version of Duolingo in June 2022 has animated figures which applaud you, after five or ten right answers in a row.
