Sleepy Times
This is sort of one of those brag things! Many times during my Wing Chun journey, I would not get much sleep the night before the travel. I have one of those things like a bad bladder or large prostate (don't know which yet) that keep me up at night (sometimes). I usually had to make a quick decision when awaking whether or not I would be making the trip, but usually I did make it. Many times, once the trip would start, usually on the Interstate 49, I would get very sleepy. I would have to use many "tricks" to stay awake, like singing out loud, or thumping on the steering wheel, etc. Invariably, I would resort to using Wing Chun techniques or "hands" to stay awake and at the same time, practice the art. One of those is Huen Sao using the steering wheel. Try it sometimes; it is very interesting and fun! Anyway, once I would get to New Iberia and start my hours of practice and learning, I usually forgot about being tired. That is, until I would get in the car to come home, a two hour trip! Of course, I usually had some coffee left in my thermos to help keep me awake. And here I am, so it helped!
