[quote] I know that several of our patrons are -by choice or by circumstance- seasoned world warriors. Do any of you have methods for dealing with jet lag? I’m currently in parts unknown and while I’m doing fairly well this morning Mrs Ishmael looks like she went through the wringer. Any advice that would help avoid this situation in the future would be most appreciated. Some thoughts: - a common cause of feeling crappy afterwards is a combination of sleep deprivation and dehydration. - calibrating to a new daylight cycle can take time, and it can be exacerbated by lack of sleep: for instance, when I'm sleep deprived, I lose my appetite, but that has the additional negative of being short on food energy later on. - depending on your flight and your arrival time, you might be in a situation where you have had no daylight exposure for much longer than you are used to, or way more daylight exposure than you are used to. In my ideal case, I arrive early in the evening of wherever it is I'm arriving, because the sheer quantity of time spent being vaguely awake/not really able to sleep soundly on a plane leads to me being tired. This means I have time to get some food if I can stomach a full meal, or I can just hit the hay. By arriving early in the evening, I can get more sleep if needed, or if I wake up for a bit partway through, I still have enough hours to take a second nap. Getting your hands on some sports drinks is good for replenishing your energy and [/URL][/B][/S][/I][COLOR=660000]-- Message too long, Autoquote has been Snipped --[/COLOR][/quote] Show Signature: include your profile signature.
