Thanks all for your suggestions, will read some of the websites as time permits. Called my "personal" doc and requested a sleep aids. Was given a new "aid", Lunesta 3mg. Needed something as I was sch for some gnd school and needed to get on track faster than nature was going. Did three nights, one more than I planned or hoped, Worked pretty good and keep me awake during some tough lectures!
Still find it disturbing that at 47 I'm taking over three days to adjust to normal schedules. I don't remember (on this trip) hanging on to my "legacy" time zone as long as its taking me to re find my "home" zone.
Have tried melatonin a couple years ago on the return home (attempt) to adjust and it didn't work. Some on my colleges suggest it required patience to get this to work, or maybe it was just a bigger dose??
any thoughts?
