I am fortunate that I have only ever experienced jet lag once. For some reason, I seem to be able to adapt to whatever time zone I am in instantly. I suspect this may have something to do with the fact that I can never sleep on the night before I fly, so I just end up staying awake all night. By the time it is night time in my destination, I am dog-tired, and I sleep like a rock, no matter what the time of day back home or regardless of light and dark conditions.

Now *that's* got to be an unhealthy liver in there I'm guessing. haha, someone actually emailed me about that photo! I thought long and hard before posting it, pretty gross I admit.

Since long haul flights and Australia go hand in hand, I stick to sleeping tablets and eat beforehand. Disrupting my pattern for 24 earlier would stress me too much.(That spoon in belly photo is awful!! A skinnier person would have made it more bearable!) Interesting concept.

I just can't do that as it keeps me occupied for hours :) I’ve always tried to start shifting eating and sleeping a few days beforehand but I also know people swear by not eating at all on long flights.

It is much worse flying east than west. The only thing I really found successful is to eat and drink in moderation on the flight and to sleep when you are tired. If you get to the US in the day, which I typically did landing in LA or SF, walk around in the sunshine for a while as the brain adapts quickly to seeing sunlight and readjusts its idea of time. And don't have a late afternoon nap - wait till normal bedtime whatever you need to do to stay awake!!
