Jet Lagging?

Although Venezuela is only half an hour later than eastern time (without daylight savings), I'm suprisngly having some jet lag issues. Because Venezuela is closer to the equator, the sun rises and sets very differently from the Pennsylvannia fall, so I wake up at the wrong time and am constantly unaware of what time it is. I suppose it doesn't help that I don't have a watch and my roaming cell phone stays at home.

The sun here rises around 6:00 AM, but it rises quite bright, so at 6 my eyes are fully open thinking it feels more like it's 10 AM for me but I feel super tired and try to go back to sleep, completely breaking my sleeping pattern. Sunset happens exactly at 5:30 PM, which is a just a little later than what I'm used to this time of the year, and the sunsets here also seem to happen much faster, too.

These little changes have really messed up with my eating and sleeping schedule. I think I'm getting used to it, though. That is, getting used to feeling totally confused all day long.
