Thank you!
Oh how reassuring to read your tales of misery as I lie here at 2am feeling like the pits 6 days after flying London to Perth. I feel appalling and was beginning to Google possible medical causes. I fly Zimbabwe to Perth most years but always attributed my symptoms to exhaustion from the work I do there. It takes me a week to recover. I always put my watch on to the time at my destination as soon as I get on the plane and I usually manage about 5 hours of sleep. I had not realized how real jet lag is and how bad it could be so reading your experiences has been very reassuring. This time it was 19 hours plane travel plus a 5 hour car drive to get home. I'm a good sleeper but have had 2 nights with no sleep and the others very restless. I keep hoping I'll get up feeling normal and instead it's another useless day. I'll just hang in there - someone on here wasn't right for 3 weeks. Eek! Please no! I have never had much effect flying the other direction, east to west.
