Some years ago I found out how not to lose a day abroad because of the time changes that result when one travels to another continent:<BR>
The moment that I strap myself onto the airplane seat I take a sleeping pill (usually a 5 mg. ambien) and wake up in good condition six hours later, just about the time when they are serving breakfast on the plane.<BR>
Sure, I forgo the evening meal, the movies, etc., which, frankly, are no loss at all, at least not to me..<BR>
I also seek a place by the window so that other passengers won't wake me up. <BR>
If on the first nighttime in Europe, or wherever, I am still not sleep-adjusted, I take a second sleeping pill and that's it. The next morning I wake up as though I were home.<BR>
As I remember, sometime ago another pilgrim made the same suggestion here. </FONT></HTML>
