Narrative:

I was very tired on the flight from bdl because of lack of sleep. Unfortunately; I failed to arm doors 1R and 1L before pushback. I did not realize as much until we were climbing out of bdl and were already in-flight and not thinking. Because I panicked; I immediately got up and armed the doors. The outcome is doors eventually got armed; but not at the correct time. I feel as though because of my lack of sleep I was a bit off track and easily distraction.

Narrative: I WAS VERY TIRED ON THE FLT FROM BDL BECAUSE OF LACK OF SLEEP. UNFORTUNATELY; I FAILED TO ARM DOORS 1R AND 1L BEFORE PUSHBACK. I DID NOT REALIZE AS MUCH UNTIL WE WERE CLBING OUT OF BDL AND WERE ALREADY INFLT AND NOT THINKING. BECAUSE I PANICKED; I IMMEDIATELY GOT UP AND ARMED THE DOORS. THE OUTCOME IS DOORS EVENTUALLY GOT ARMED; BUT NOT AT THE CORRECT TIME. I FEEL AS THOUGH BECAUSE OF MY LACK OF SLEEP I WAS A BIT OFF TRACK AND EASILY DISTR.
