[/quote]Jetlag is a serious ball-buster for me when I go to LOS. A 12-hour time-zone change. It takes me almost a full week to feel normal, and in the interim I feel like I'm suffering the post surgical effects of anasthesia [/quote]
I too like to pop a sleeper - I bring (3) .5 miligram Xanax tablets for each way. Take them 1 hour before I want to sleep, and I'm out like a light, then awake a tiny bit groggy an hour before landing. Within 30 minutes its out of my system completely, and I good to go.
Whether using that or not, I've found one key for dealing with jetlag, and it's worked a charm for 2 decades of international travel:
Whatever time I arrive, do NOT take a nap, and force myself to stay up until my normal bedtime (usually around midnight) in the new local time zone. Then get up the next morning at a decent hour (9am or so) and get on with my trip. This forces my body to quickly acclimate to the local time. It usually results in me walking around like a fucking zombie for the best part of that arrival day, but as long as I don't try to do anything too taxing (like hiding my passport) nothing serious results, and my body is good to go with the new time by the 2nd day.
