Jet Lag

[Menelaus]

Got back from Malaysia this afternoon: left Sunday afternoon (insert obvious "wtf!?" here).

Am feeling jet lagged like there's no tomorrow - anyone got any tips? I want to have a reasonable nights sleep tonight so not planning to go to bed until "normal" time if I can avoid it!

Stay up till about 9 then start drinking hard
The drink induced sleep and hang over tomorrow will have you feeling back to normal by lunch time tomorrow

Go to the pub, leave at last orders, get larrupped and then sleep for as long as you need to.

Going west, I used to stay up as late as I could manage it. Literally until I would drop. Then have a good sleep. Within a day or two I'd sync with local time (-5 or -6 hrs difference).

However, I never did find a good way going from west to east.

Sorry - spotted that and corrected it.

West to East I'm fine.

East to West I wake up at some ungodly hour in the morning.

Flying back from Saudi after the GW wasn't a problem, flew back in a Hercules via Cyprus and Gibraltar - 4 days! Jet Lag? What f**king Jet Lag - mind you my hearing was f**ked!

You got the Herc back as well? I had that too - stuck at Akrotiri doing f*** all waiting for the next flight out back to Lyneham or Brize. Ended up working in the med centre at Akrotiri I was *that* bored.

I used to have painful hearing sometimes after flying from east to west. However, in my case it was ex-Mrs HAB giving me an ear-bashing for getting rat-arsed drunk on Krug all the way from the first class lounge at Heathrow fourteen hours earlier.

Not flown in a Herc, have you? They're a tiny bit noisy
