The problem is not the hotel, it is trying to sleep during the time when your mind and body wants to be awake. It takes very little to awaken and a lot to get back to sleep. Yes we have a hotel committee. Our hotel is very good, but it can't turn day to night.

after six months of that you won't want the any FAR extension waivers.
Or fly around the world (Literally in one direction) in 6 days........................
