Jet lag

Cankles-McJeggings

There is no fucking solution is there? I’m one of those unlucky cunts who gets it both ways too. A load of olde bollox that it’s worse going west to east or whatever it is.
Tried everything over the 20 odd years I’ve been here. Fuck all works. Staying awake -Fail. Going to sleep -Fail. Drinking yourself unconscious -Fail.
I don’t know how these DJ cunts manage it. I’d be fucking useless. Two weeks it takes me on average to get back into the sleep pattern.

Two words: sleeping tablets.

Treid mate. Doesn’t work for me at all. Just makes me feel shite.

Cankles-McJeggings Really works for me, but the worst I’ve had to sort out is 8 hours - Australia might be a step to far

The last 2 nights I’ve taken to drinking heavily. Like loads more than usual and going to bed at 12 plastered. Sure enough 3am BING! Wide awake for the rest of the night with a hangover. By 2pm I can’t stay awake.

As with most things in life it seems to get worse with age.

Cankles-McJeggings

I can’t really tell if it has. I’ve always been bad but suppose it probably is slightly worse now.

Travel to the US a lot on business. Tend to take the red eye flight, stay up if I can so I effectively lose a nights sleep and then I seem to be alright the following night. Exhaustion cures it

Post flight boose up does the trick. Wake up hung over and forget all about the jetlag.

Cankles-McJeggings

I think the distance always plays a huge part.
Zacko you cunts don’t even leave the country so how you get jet lag is a mystery.
I’m the other side of the earth.

zackster

Cankles-McJeggings no real reason to leave the greatest country on earth!

Helps to be in Business Class and chill in a decent lounge like The Galleries in Heathrow before the flight.

Cankles-McJeggings

I have use of the lounges and it makes fuck all difference apart from free food and a decent seat.
They don’t let the little shites in business either but we looked at prices once and it was 40k.

I was mostly trying to coax MC into the thread.

Haha fair enough.

Melatonin? Or a melatonin + magnesium combo?

benson

Downvote for melatonin. Absolutely fucked me the next day. Fine if you are on holiday and don’t mind being a mong all day. No good for wok

Millsy

Not sure you’re supposed to stir fry it, bens.

benson

Mad_Cyril Slightly off topic but flying not only economy to Mallorca on Wednsday, but not even an extra leg room emergency exit row.

Reckon the jet lag will be ok though
