Denial
Night 1: "She slept through the night for 15 hours! I don't think she's going to have jet lag!"
Night 2:
- 9PM: "Is she awake already?" "No, can't be, I think she's just talking in her sleep."
- 11PM: "Maybe if we do bath time and her bedtime routine again she'll go back to sleep"
- 1AM: "Let's try to get her down in an hour, she should be tired by then."
Anger
"Why did we let her sleep so long today?!" "I'm so tired, we're never traveling outside of Mountain Standard Time again!"
Bargaining
"Is it ok if I just go to sleep for an hour, then I'll take the next shift if she still hasn't gone to sleep?"
Depression
"I'm so tired I want to cry."
Acceptance
"This is our life now. We'll never sleep again."

Oh no! Just re-read your previous couple posts & you'll remember that the trip was worth it.
