Anyone got any tips? Already tried alcohol, self abuse and reading the PF.

Jet lag

Try to normalise. It takes around three days if you’ve been plus or minus 8 hours for any period of time. The flights just make it that bit worse.

Normal sleep pattern.
Normal eating pattern.
Normal drinking pattern (don’t use drink to force sleep).
It takes a few days and perseverance.

Get shit faced. Body clock resets
Avoid temptation to nap during day and fight through it.
It's worse when you get back home.
Remember when I came back from Oz the first time, I was showing my best mate photos of my trip and fell asleep mid sentence.

Already did that. It tends to work going west but not going east, for me.
I am absolutely desperate for some sleep.

Crack one out.
I thought it was bullshit until I suffered from it. Went back to work the day after 18 hours flying and I was fucked. Genuinely felt unsafe driving about. Wrapped in at 10 in the morning and had one fantastic kip

Go to Scotland on holiday?
Or avoid flying.
It’s not always that easy. I’ve previously had a long flight with little sleep, then had 30 odd hours with not being able to fall asleep. Horrible situation to be in.

get out walking to try and stay awake, difficult in heat like so keep dipping in a pool. Drink plenty water
Its a myth. Man the fuck up.

I'd love that, but unfortunately England aren't playing Australia at cricket there.
Thanks Jo......zzzzzzzzzz
It's odd.
I travelled east for 16 hours non stop , time was about 9 hours ahead of gmt . Coped pretty well, not too much jet lag but was suffering narcolepsy three weeks later (daily).
Done pretty much the same trip a year later, hardly any jet lag at all apart from odd bits of wakefulness at night.
Just establish good sleep hygiene asap.
