You get a decent night sleep on a plane???!!!! I arrive in Paris just after 7am after flying all night from Singapore. And am pretty certain I will feel like ****!! (And that way is my 'good' direction- I feel worse coming home to NZ via Singapore.)jpflavin1 said:Mike:I usually book an evening flight. So I arrive in Europe in the morning after a decent night sleep on the plane. Joe
Wow! I am impressed! I tend to sleep very little on the plane, though unpredictably more sometimes than others- then on arrival have a series of nights when I am wide awake at 1am- 2am- 3am- 4am and simply cannot sleep. Plus in the middle of the first few afternoons I am really struggling to stay awake. A French couple who I met on the Camino last time live not too far from Paris CDG and offered to pick me up at the airport and take me into the city. I had to tell them it might be better to wait until I have had at least one night's sleep as I am liable to be feeling very grotty on arrival!jpflavin1 said:Margaret:I typically fall asleep on a plane as soon as I board and do not wake up till dinner is served. I eat, read for about half an hour and fall back asleep. Not sure what it is, maybe the whine/hum of the engines puts me to sleep, but I sleep very well on airplanes. Ultreya,

The advice of Dougfitz is probably the better one.mlhhome said:What is your best advice to reduce the impacts of Jet Lag?

I had a similar problem doing the calculation coming from Australia. Other than wandering off to sit in the toilets for a couple of hours or so with the lights on, I couldn't think of how to make it workalipilgrim said:Hmm, the BA advice had me on Day 2 of arrival seeking light between 11:00pm-1:30am, and avoiding it 1:30am-4am. I'm confident I can do the latter, not so sure about the former!!
I don't know the explanation- but I know that travelling east back to NZ is always harder for me as well, plus others I have talked to...Lise T said:But coming back is a whole other story....I dont know why...but it can take me two weeks to get my routine back to normal when i get back to NZ.
