Dealing with Jet Lag
This topic is for those who have a hard time dealing with time zone changes. I, among others I'm sure, cannot sleep on a long flight. Many times before I tried alcohol (bad idea) to help me fall asleep. Alcohol just makes me groggy and doesn't really help much. I may sleep in increments of 30 minutes or so and I truly envy those people who can just shut their engines off and doze off peacefully. I was talking to my seat mate on a flight this week and he told me about melatonin. I am usually skeptical when it comes to drugging myself to fall asleep, as I'd never take sleeping pills. I prefer a more natural way to deal with it. So, whenever I fly somewhere (my trips are usually transcontinental or international) I lose about a day or two trying to recuperate. I'm sure you are all experts on the topic.
