Yea - don't nap. Stay up until at least nine local time and then sleep until a normal waking up time the next day (8?). Drink lots of water. Something my mother told me a long time ago that really helps is drink everything (NA) that they give you on the plane, and if they just give you the little cup, ask for the whole can (they will give it to you). Usually when you're 'jet-latted', you're really just dehydrated from the air in the plane. Drink lots, sleep normally. Its hard to stay up that late when you first get in (if you're flying west especially), but its worth it. You will have it kicked by the next day. Two tops. Feel better!



Edit: Almost forgot - get some exercise! Even a 30 minute brisk walk the next day can work wonders!

Yeas, I begged them to turn the air up on the flight, they said people are cold. Ased them for a whole bottle of seltser they gave it to me.

I always take airborne after a flight (and before too). Plus it's good to have on hand just incase someone coughs on you or whatnot. Hope it helps

Thowing up? I get jet lag bad, but never that bad. Sure you didn't pick something up?

My jet lag is manageble with the advent of Ambien. Don't nap, go to bed at a reasonable time, take an ambien at bed time, and have a half of one available if you wake up too early (more than four hours before normal wake time).

Where you coming from and what TZ are you in now?

Still can't get rid off it, I feel sick.

I don't get how jet lag can make you vomit. It's basically a lack of sleep right??. Sounds like you caught a virus or something.

Hope it's not the Motaba virus.
