Imagine the following conversation…

Friend: Heard you weren’t feeling well lately?

Friend: Girl, I hear ya. When I got back from Hawaii in January, it took me a week to turn around and then I made the mistake of going on a bender the weekend after. You know how that goes, and then last week I ended up with a flu and it feels like it’s been a month since I felt normal, you know?

Me: I can relate to that.

Friend: I remember last year there was like this three-week period where I couldn’t sleep past 5 a.m.

Me: Yeah, that sucks, but it’s a bit different.

Friend: How so?
