Jet Lag"Coping with Jet Lag...finding some cures"
There is a lot of controversy over jet lag and travel. Many remedies and suggestions have been written and used but there is no scientific cure. You might feel like “the devils of hell” for several days after you arrive from a long flight. The most common advice is to "reset" your sleep patterns by going to bed early a few nights before you leave. Get plenty of rest before you leave on your trip. Sleep as much as you can on the plane, and walk and stretch when awake. Switch your watch to the local time in Europe as soon as you board the plane. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages while in flight. Upon arrival in a new time zone, have a light meal at the appropriate local hour and perhaps a brief stroll afterward. I enjoy a glass of wine on the plane, so avoiding alcohol is not one of my things. After arriving at your destination, stay up and go to bed at your normal time and resist the temptation to retire early or take a nap. Keep the first day or two on a light schedule and try to relax. Soon you will return to normal! For more information: "You Can Do What This International Airline Captain Does"
