Jet Lagged Need Help Getting Back to Normal?

Question

I came back from china about 1 week ago and I'm still a bit jet lagged and dont sleep until about 2 am how much longer will this take, and do you have any tips to help me sleep better?

Answer 1

Been there, done that!

Best way would be to forced yourself to stay up during the day (for me I will get so tireeed around noon) and try to go to sleep at night. Exposure to sun also helps that's why I always bring my son out as much as I can after a long flight home from Asia.

It normally took me 2 weeks to get back to normal.

Answer 2

i read somewhere that for every hour of time difference equals the amount of days to return to normal. my opinion its not particularly true. ive been to a 7  hour time difference and gotten over it in 2 days. do youre best to NOT sleep until at least 8PM at night. if you do need to sleep take no more than an hour/hour and a half nap. try to eat meals during normal meal time. eventually it will go away.

Answer 3

The best way is too sacrifice not sleeping for one whole day. This method is really effective for me. I experienced this already and happens to me all the time. All I have to do is sacrifice a day without getting no sleep and wait for the night to get my complete rest.  

Answer 4

ok, this is gonna sound dumb, but im just checking in case, but are u going to sleep when people tend to in your country, cuz thats a must, to get back into the routine......but im guessing u are doing that.....it should not last much longer now, by the time 2 weeks are up you will be completely fine........and as for drinking, all i can think of is the traditional tricks.....read a book, drink a hot drink (NOT coffee), if your hot at night then put a fan next to you, ......... uh, sorry man, i know this more than likely has not helped u one bit......... :(

Answer 5

it veries person to person for me it is one day only in your case just check
