  • Jetlag cures

    Does anyone have any cures for Jetlag? I seem to be terrible after returning from Europe. I lose sleep for around 1 week until it wears off...

    Help

    The furthest I have flown is about 2 hours away. Sorry
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

      You shouldn't get bad jet lag coming back from Europe.

      Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

        Try swallowing 50 sleeping pills. You'll sleep all week and then feel fine.

        I don't get very bad jetlag - I usually barely notice it at all (but then I keep weird hours anyway).

          When I came back to Europe from the US (not as long a journey, I grant you), I stayed awake for about 40 hours, went to sleep the night I got back, woke up the next morning feeling fresh and went off to college. So that's my advice; stay awake for as long as possible.

              That's what I did too, both for going to Europe and for coming back. It worked like a charm.

                Thats what I do to. Seems to do the job for me.

                Though flying UK to Ozzieland (23 hour flight to the other side of the world) really ****ed my head up. Quite fun though.

                I've heard of melatonin acts on your body clock, so that you can artificially 'reset' it by taking the drug at a certain time of night.

                Oh and here's a link:

                I have discovered that China and Spain are really one and the same country, and it's only ignorance that leads people to believe they are two seperate nations. If you don't belive me try writing 'Spain' and you'll end up writing 'China'."

                  Yes, staying awake for as long as possible...Though you'll likely end up oversleeping the first day or so...

                        I struggle with Jetlag when arriving in US from Oz, but not vice versa as much.

                        I have found improvement from getting plenty of sun and exercise in the first day or two after I arrive. Walk in sun at lunchtime, for example. Otherwise, I just don't sleep.

                        Oh, I also prepare in every way that I can to reduce the stresses encountered on my US visit. Worries just exacerbate the insomnia.

                          "That is terrible advice."

                          Explain yourself. What do the diplomats do?

                          Seems to work for me, although admittedly, I haven't done a Europe<-->Oz trip.
                          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                            I've gone from the U.S. to Europe and U.S. to Japan and the best cure is to stay awake as long as possible. If a doctor or some other sort of proffesional says this is wrong ignore them.

                              I just sleep every minute I can on the plane, and just pick up in whatever time zone I end up in, falling into a regular routine.

                              I've never have had a problem with jet lag...
