How do I cure jet lag going east?

Answer 1

Actually, it's not too bad to fly to the East (I hope you mean to Asia). I go to Japan often and most of the flight arrive in the evening or night, so you can go to sleep soon and start fresh in the morning. Coming home is another story.

Answer 2

I travel back and forth from Singapore to UK every 4 weeks and find that if I get enough booze on the flight I can sleep no problem and the jet lag is confused with a hangover the next day.

No Problem!!!

Answer 3

Depends on the number of time zones your cross.

When I travel from UK to Hong Kong (13.5 Hours and 8 time zones) i generally try to stay awake on the plane, limit my alcohol intake, and drink lots of water.

The planes on that route tend to arrive in HK about 5pm from London so I go home, shower and head to bed about 8 or 9pm for a nice long sleep.

This certainly helps with the fatique side of jet lag, try to resist crazings for food in the middle of the night to help your body clock adjust to the new time zone.

Your body will naturally re-gain about 1 hour per day.

There is an over the counter medicine called melatonin that helps jet lag, my parents swear by it (frequent Australia to London Travellers), but cant comment further on it having never tried it myself.

Answer 4

I'd recommend staying awake until it's time to sleep in the new country. Even if it means you're too dopey to do much on the first day, it gets you straight into the right time-zone 'cause you're good as new by the next morning. Works for me.

Answer 5

Constantly knock on the pilot's door when there are no stewardess any where around to lock you up. or jump into someone else seat where there is a phone and then call home or some one you haven't seen in a while.
Like your parole officer.

Answer 6

Try changing your sleeping, eating, relaxing habits to how you will be doing them when you go East for one week prior to travel. (or as close as possible) This works really well because you adjust to that time zone b4 you go making the travel part not as sever.

Answer 7

i travel between UK Thailand up to 5 times a year when you take off set you watch to the time at your destination as you look at your watch during the flight you brain starts to naturally adjust it sounds mad but it works i read on a flight a few years ago and now do it on every trip

Answer 8

nothing, just sleep and drink a lot of water. i hate jet lags.

Answer 9

Lots of fruits and water........
Fruits can be fun because instead of eating your regular apple or banana, you can indulge in strawberries, cherries, mandarins, grapes, watermelon, pinneaple.... and it´s even better when bought at the streetmarket of the country you are visiting......
I´m sure you´ll find "new" fruits you´ve never tried before.....and it really helps jetlag!!!
By the way, where are you going?
