Jet lag blows:(

What to do? I just came back from China 5 days ago and my body refuses to sleep in US eastern hours. Instead, i cannot fall asleep until 6 AM. I tried sleeping pills, sex, and not sleeping, but nothing works ANy more ideas?

If you really can't fall asleep until 6am just pull an all-nighter, and go to sleep early the next day.

Tylenol

All nighter + sleeping pills will work.

did you take a nap and fuck it up?

Stop staying indoors so much. stay outdoors during the day and avoid using artificial lights at night.

Force yourself to stay awake during the day. Chances are after a few days, your system will be so exhausted that you will be able to fall asleep at night. If you let yourself fall asleep during hours when you would not normally fall asleep (say, daylight), you're gonna mess up your schedule.

I came back from China this summer too, but I shook jet lag off after about a day. All it takes is some pre-planning (staying up the night before you leave), willpower in staying awake, and an exhausted body when it's time to go to sleep.

You just need to know how to cope. Just stay awake the entire flight and force yourself to stay awake until it becomes night in your destination. Then Sleep

my doctor gave me ambien ...works great!

 

[bsobel]

Ambien to sleep, provigil for daytime for the day you get there or get back. Instant time zone fix

I don't get bothered by jetlag at all.

I'm never bothered by it either... I guess it's just a personal thing.

Booze. When I went to Sydney this summer, the first night there, almost everyone on the trip was sleeping because they were jet lagged. The few of us who knew what was going on hit every bar within walking distance. We were over the jet lag in two days, everyone else was suffering for a week or more.

So yeah. Booze
