Jet lag sucks

[Skeeter]

after 2 weeks abroad here I am up at 5:00 am on a sunday, just knowing monday at work is going to suck.

Any sure fire cures for jet lag?

the only sure fire way is to be on the schedule of your destination while travelling. IE, if you're coming from London to Jersey, be on Jersey time from the moment you get on the plane. If your flight is 7 pm GMT, don't go to sleep 3 hours into the flight, go to sleep at like 9-10 EST, IE, 7 or 8 hours into the flight. You might already be home by then, but oh well.

I tried. stayed up on the flight from paris to chicago, then didn't sleep until 11p last night. So after 23 straight hours of being awake with most of it travel, I'm wide awake at 5am.

Yay!

You should have done it with one of those 8 hour sleeping pills.

tonight, try going to bed at 9. That way, even if you wake up at 5, you still have a full 8 hours, and if you wake up at your normal (?) time, you'll catch up a little on sleep.

Then, keep on sleeping a little bit later, til you reach your normal bedtime.
