Severe jet-lag problems
Just came back from vacation on Monday, went from california to taiwan. since getting back monday i've only had 10 hours of sleep, didn't even sleep at all the past two days at its 1:30 A.M. right now and i'm wide awake. tried taking melatonin today before going to bed, didn't do shit. along with the sleeplessness i'm also experiencing headaches/dizziness and fatigue. any ideas?
Benzos, Pot, Heroin, Nyquill
Your mind is probably racing. Take a shower, jerk off, eat a banana, get comfy in bed and read a book. Get away from all unnecessary lights / sounds as those hinder melatonin production, which is crucial in feeling sleepy.
I'd stay away from the internet. Do a simple book with a small lamp nearby. If all else fails masturbate again, or post any asian porn you might have on here.
Stay up until you collapse.
Do what the dude in your sig is doing. Then go see a doctor.
i agree w/ nyquil. and tylenol PM
To be honest, there is nothing you can really do but just deal with it until your body clock eventually adjusts.
edit: it's always way worse when you fly back to the US from Asia.
Fortunately I don't get any jetlag no matter how hard I try but one thing I've heard from people who do is that you should try and start eating at meal times in your current time zone ASAP, no matter how hard it might suck, or how hungry you aren't. That's one of the fastest ways to get back on...

go to the gym and cardio/weights till u drop
lol @ the EDM site with people complaining about disrupted sleep patterns.
I know how you feel. I just flew in from Miami to Atlanta. The time difference is killing me.
eat a lot of carbs like pasta and breads, and a couple of benadryls.
I always drink alot so i go to bed at an early time if i am super jet lagged.
try viagra

| Viagra could aid jetlag recovery Viagra could be used to help people flying eastwards recover from jetlag, animal research suggests. A team of Argentine scientists found the drug helped hamsters recover up to 50% faster from forward shifts in their daily time cycles. However, the drug only worked in conjunction with light therapy, and only in one time direction - the equivalent to flying eastbound. The study features in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In mammals, the light-dark cycle regulates the body's biological clock, which promotes activity during the daytime, when it is light, and sleep at night. Time shift The researchers from the National University of Quilmes shifted the light-dark cycle of hamsters six hours forwards, by switching on lights six hours earlier than usual. They then monitored the hamsters' running wheel activity to assess when their body clocks had adjusted to the new time cycle - the hamsters are active in the day but stop running when the lights go out. Injection of Viagra before the time shift meant the hamsters adjusted to the new time cycle faster, even when low doses of the drug, which did not cause penile erections, were used. Viagra, the drug sildenafil, was originally developed for the treatment of high blood pressure and angina, and is used to treat erectile dysfunction. When used without the shifts in light, the drug did not induce changes in the hamsters' activity, so it seems to work by enhancing the light-induced response. Dr Diego Golumbek, who led the research, said the drug seemed to work via a molecule called cGMP which is known to have a role in setting the body's time clock - it is present at higher levels during the day. The Viagra blocks the activity of an enzyme which breaks down cGMP, allowing higher levels to build up. One direction only Dr Golumbek said the fact that different mechanisms may be used to slow down and speed up the body clock explains why Viagra only worked when the lights were switched on early, not late. Professor Robert Lucas, from Manchester University, said although looking for ways adjust biological clocks was important, regulating light exposure was the most widely accepted strategy for doing this. He said the new research raised the possibility of using Viagra in conjunction with this light treatment, but he added: "We will have to wait for more research to know whether this will work in humans." Pfizer, the makers of Viagra, said the drug should only be used in accordance with the approved labelling. |

I did see on one air travel forum someone asked how to deal with jet lag when flying from Chicago to Seattle!

| Originally posted by XaNaX melatonin is a joke compared to benzos for putting you down, comparing them is like comparing near beer to grain alcohol. you aren't going to be dependant on them, all you need is something to knock you the fuck out once or twice to get your sleep patterns back to normal. take the benzos at the time you would normally go to sleep and set an alarm so you don't sleep more than 9 hours. Do that two nights and by the third night your sleep pattern should be straightened out and you should be ok. if you go to the doc for help you are almost guaranteed to get ambien or one of the other similar new sleep meds, not as good as benzos but beats the hell out of melatonin and would probably work for you. if you are going to a street pharmacist of the benzos you are likely to find the best for sleep in order are: halcion xanax valium ativan or klonopin will work also if thats all they have |
Do acid and then count the sheep.
drugs
the times that you eat plays a big part in this.
when i tackle the jet lag i just tend to eat a very healthy meal at the regular time back home, and force myself to stay awake (usually over 24 hours) until my normal bedtime. It will still take a few days, but this makes it a little more bearable. It is always worse coming back than going there, especially for 12+ hour differences.
prog is gay.
