traveled to Europe many times and concur with Rosina. Ambien was
recommended to me by medical personnel with European relatives. They said,
and I experienced, that Ambien is a gentle sleep inducer. I had no,
absolutely no, residual effects and awoke just before breakfast as Rosina
did. You can tell the flight attendants not to disturb you. I one
case they even stuck a sticker on my seat saying "Do Not Disturb". Since
using this method, I have not lost any time to jet lag at all. You
must get a prescription from a doctor for it. I would recommend asking for
the 10mg tablets and breaking it in two. The 10mg tablet doesn't cost much
more than the 5mg one.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

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></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
