I'm here now and have slept solid all night long for 4 nights in a row. I'm always waking up around 7:30am if not earlier. I'm still getting tired around noon and 4pm. If I try and sleep during those times I just lay there awake and can't fall asleep.
Any advice? How long until I'm acclamated to the time change?

Don't eat and force yourself to stay up until around 10 pm. Then force yourself to do 100 pushups, take a hot shower, wake up round 8 or 9, eat a light breakfast and you should be set.

Don't listen to Lekker, that's some stupid, random advice.

It takes about two weeks of what you described for me to get over my jet lag.

Just do what you do, the weirdness will wear off in a week or so.

I've also heard that melatonin helps.

You pretty much have to drink your way through it. Get to a bar by 5:00 and work through your jet lag.

Try to get as much exposure to natural sunlight as possible - I had the same problem, it lasted about two months in my case.

I've had jetlag coming up 6 years now.

track down a pharmacy that sells melatonin. It helps your internal clock reset and there's no wierd side effects. Take one pill about a half hour before bed, for a day or two, and things should ease up

Exerercise will help you with sleep. Take it easy though.

thanks guys, sounds like melatonin is the way to go. I'll look for it tomorrow.
