I was worried about jet-lag 2006 November 22 18:40
Posted by diamond in : Health , trackbackNo longer. For the last 3 days in california, i started getting up at about 05:40, to try and lessen the jet lag when i flew home on monday/Tuesday. As i was flying out at 16:30 california time, and landing in london at 02:00 california time, i needed to be sleepy in the early evening if i was going to be able to sleep on the flight.
That kinda didn’t work out.
I didn’t get to sleep on the flight at all, nor on the flight to dublin afterwards. I finally did fall asleep at about midnight last night after being awake for 34 hours. As such, the 8-hour time difference between here and california is entirely outweighed by the amount of sleep deprivation, so once that’s sorted, i’ll be on irish time anyway ,-) It’s like a good plan, only much much worse.

I’ve always found going West OK, but going East sucks. We gain life W, but lose life E. Strange…
Sometimes, the illusions created by booze are bellieved to help, but I doubt it.
