How bad was it? It took me over 4 weeks to overcome jetlag when i traveled to Vladivostok, Russia from Stockholm, Sweden.

Yes! I've been on holiday since this weekend, and I still have to take constant naps which probably doesn't help at all since now I can't fall asleep as much as I want to! It's way past my bedtime, but why should I just lie in bed and stare at the ceiling (because I'm at my parents' home, I can't have anyone entertain me if you know what I'm saying...ha ha...just teasing sort of) when I can putz around on Y! Answers?
Ah, I didn't know you've gone to Vladivostok too...maybe you do understand something more about Communism than I supposed for your other question, but even so, you are entitled to your opinion... :) Nonetheless, your jet lag should have been much worse than mine if you've gone to Vladivostok! That's much more difference in time than what I'm experiencing even now...it should be what, 11 or 12 hours difference from Stockholm? Just a guess... I lived at Vladivostok for a summer on work/research related to the university (I don't know the proper name for it) in a nice apartment when I was in my undergraduate level university studies.
Also, let me say that adjusting to mum's home-cooking here (which is great!) from the usual McDonald's may be having some effect on my sleep schedule too...but who knows?

I travelled from New York City to Manila and back once.
I also travelled to Fiji and back from California.
Both times, I found that if I just put myself in the time frame of the locale, eating and sleeping when the locals did, without letting myself succumb to my natural inclinations to eat and sleep (I take no naps when I arrive!) then the effects of the jetlag aren't so great.
And to Giggly Giraffe you are thinking of Melanin....

I never sleep on planes, so I always feel exhausted for a few days...so I can never tell if that is jet lag or just exhaustion. But when ever I fly for more then five hours I always get vertigo. When I traveled to Argentina, I was sick for a week.

USA to Germany ... I wanted to pass out 5:00 PM German time, but my friend
Oh, Melinoma (vitamin/minner thing a ma jig) is what the military uses to recover from jet-lag.

I have never experienced Jet Lag. I refuse to listen to everyone complaining about it. I refuse to believe that it is even a real phenomenon. I just automatically fall into the rhythm of hte new country.
