However, Dallas is 7 hours different from Central Europe and it doesn't really take 7 days. It does take me 3 to be at full tilt (well, full tilt for me) though.
Ditto. I'm 55. I land in AMS around 11:30 am, 2:00 pm meet my clients (printing/publishing/graphics), then try to nap around 6:00-7:30 pm. Dinner at 9, which is cutting it close at some places. 9 hours difference for me.
First time using sleep aids. Usually just stay wake as long as possible the first day. Last night started taking melatonin before going to bed, earlier each night. Helped put me to sleep, but around 3:00 am I tossed&turned & had funny dreams.
