You've already gotten lots of good advice, but here's my little tip on this damnable jetlag: for an early arrival, have a room waiting for you and go to bed immediately. For years I did the torture routine of staying up all day, and my jetlag lasted 4 or 5 days. Now I go to sleep immediately (9am) and sleep 8 hours (no pills needed). At 5pm I take a long walk, then have dinner at 630 or 7, watch TV until 10 or 11, take a sleeping pill and sleep 8 hours. The next day starts a big groggy, but by mid-afternoon, the jetlag is gone. Works for me!

I use melatonin.For me it works like magic, otherwise I suffer for 3 days. <BR>The nojetlag pills advised by some here are a herbal sleeping pill - contains chamomile etc.Never tried it but I'd expect it to be partly effective. <BR>Melatonin works by resetting the body clock.Take it in the dark 24 hrs before your first sleep at you destination.Cover your eyes & forehead, swallow, doze, wait 30 mins. <BR>Note it is not for sale in the UK. <BR>I have seen post here saying they have heard that some get bad dreams from it.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND INFORMATION PERTAINING TO JET LAG.. I HAVE REALLY TAKEN TO HEART A LOT OF THE ADVICE OFFERED...PHYLLIS :=)
