High winds overnight at Pinto Valley kept me from getting much sleep on this final night of the trip: miserable

I've been awake half the night, due to the high winds, and now I'm up for good at 6h, way too early for me. I'm looking forward to today's 47-mile ride back to Primm, Nevada, but hope I won't conk out due to lack of sleep and energy.
