I need a cure

For friggin Jetlag!!!

It's the second night now I've got 3 hours sleep or less!!
I stayed awake all night on tuesday night, slept for 14 hours wednesday night in hopes to be over this shit.
And now again last night I slept for only 3 hours

How do you get over jetlag?

always have a nice stash of melatonin handy

You have to be very regimented with yourself and utilize 20 minute naps to reset your body clock.

Flying to the UK, I sleep as much on the plane as I can (thanks to gravol) and although it isn't a fulll night's sleep, when I land in the morning, I can usually keep going. If I am really tired, I will have a 20 min nap but I will not allow myself to sleep properly until at least 10pm.

Coming back to Canada, you gain the time back so I again try and sleep on the plane (passes the time too) and it just is a very long day but no longer than a Sat if you go to Sonic

EDIT: forgot to mention but as you are already jet lagged, there isn't much you can do about it. Prevention is the only way. Time is the only cure.

Umm no. You place your left hand thumb on the inside of the wrist of your right hand, and the middle finger in the middle of the palm, and press and hold for 5 seconds. Didn't you read the manual?

I've flown to Europe a few times, and never been jetlagged, but then again my body is used to sleeping at random times each day, so any sleep time it welcomes.

P.S. The only cure is more cowbell.

smoke lots of weed a couple of hours before you want to sleep

eat two bags of miss vickies

lay on couch

proceed to pass out

Melatonin actually does work pretty good.

I find a 2 hour time change worse than like a 6+ time hour change.

YAY Chris is BACK!!!!



ummmm do sleeping pills work??

I travel a lot, and swear by Melatonin each time.

I feel the pain cos I keep going back home to India and its like a 11 hour difference between here and there, virtually day here = night there. The best thing imo is to make sure that if you feel sleepy at odd hours, resist it until you reach the normal hours but by resist I dun mean pound 2 cans of redbull. You just have to keep your eyes open somehow and yes, you probably wun be as productive that day so try doing something which involves more physical work than mental.

And sleep at a time which is a bit earlier than your normal hours, passing out by 10pm usually helps. If you like nyquil, that should help the cause too but I dun like it...I feel too drowsy the next day!!

Me too. I have never been jetlagged, mostly due to crazy sleeping partterns anyways. I don't sleep all that much in the first place so staying awake all day is easy.

I'm sure this would work too lol

when i went to europe last year i didnt experience any jetlag at all and i thought it would ruin my whole trip but that was only a 6 hour time difference. im really worried about my trip to hong kong and china in april where its gonna be a 12 hour difference. wtf is melatonin?

Gravol worked perferctly for me on the flight to Australia. I passe dout for 10 hours on the plane, which was perfect timing to wake up in the morning, AUS time.

On the way back, I found out, they gave away free beer!!! So I got pissed drunk by about 1pm on the plane, thinking it would help me sleep better if I just passed out. 6 beers later, I passed out alright, but I didn't sleep good or long. Beer adn Gravol don't seem to do the trick

It's been a week now, and finally my sleeping habit has caught up with me Snowboarding all weekend can really put your mind and body into a deep coma

Melatonin is chemical released to the brain along with serotonin when exposed to "active vitamin 'D'" The serotonin for the obligatory pleasure response and the Melatonin which facilitates the triggering of melanin to the skin as a way of protecting it from the effects of uv rays and the facilitation of metabolizing the vitamin 'D'. It's the secondary response that is in question here being that it's actually the habit forming properties of the serotonin that makes you crave sunlight on a relatively fixed schedule. ie: body clock and or a disruption of this programing. ergo, 'jet lag'

If you really can't force your body into the new routine, hit the GP up for a script of "Starnoc". Most other "sleep aids" are Valium based and there for linger for up to 12 hours or more (no good), starnoc is not and is EXTREMELY fast acting and also has a very short half life. It's washout is no longer then 3 hours and is gone by the time you need to wake up. The best in my opinion as it puts you down into the proper rem you need as opposed to these light naps your having.
