jet lag

first post, so please be gentle.

have done a few long haul trips now. best way is to break the journey and spend a day or so after each leg. not possible all the time i know. i like the idea of aligning to local time, i will try that next time. i always try align with the time of my destination. going west seems to work, but going east is difficult. agree with the dehydration thing, on a recent 14 hour flight, we were like camels and drank everything that was put in front of us, and still dry when we arrived. also alcohol on the flight big no no. unfortunately, still pretty wrecked for a day or more. fell asleep at my work, much embarrassment for me, good job i don't operate machinery for a living. thanks for listening.
