Sleep deprivation caused by long travel, jet lag, and unfamiliar places makes the human brain not only make bad decisions – but the opposite decision they would normally make.

Make sure you get your rest on road trips using airports, on the train with sleeping cars, and near Starbucks in airports. Either way, this sounds like good girlfriend excuse to me.
