Jet lag - I laugh at it. Trick is to set your watch to the new time as soon as possible and stop thinking about the time back there or over here or wherever else. Then, ignore the food on airplanes, take your own - remember the food is designed to make you docile and bound, no mass trips to the toilet, and as little movement as possible - leaving you not tired but not moving in every sense - then sleep on the plane, sleep long and hard and forget the stupid films they show - earplugs, eyemasks, put on the classical radio station, anything, just get some sleep - it won't be good sleep, or enough sleep, but it'll help cheat the feeling of being tired from a bad nights sleep rather than tired/not tired from jet-lag, then fight to stay awake on the new time until a decent hour, and get a good nights sleep - you'll get some wake up late moments, so drink water (you'll psychologically think you're waking up for the bathroom rather than because the demon time-zone kicking in) and keep yourself warm and cosy for the first night. Don't be affraid of dozing in the first week during the early evening - just let your body get a feel for the time that you're in.
If you're already there and feeling that the lag is due to hit, fight through it (no caffine though, it'll leave you feelings worse off) drink lots of water and eat plenty of apples. |
