PS. Staying on local time is near impossible even at DXB due to so many departures leaving between 10pm and 6am. So although I fully endorse the ways of fighting jet-lag discussed above, the realist in me says if ya haven't done it, you don't know.
Agreed. I have tried the whole stay on DXB time thing, but I just can't, it may be scientifically wrong of me but I sleep when my poor old bod tells me to.
