Sorry CM.
As for the original post - I tried to tough out my jet lag by staying up and having a few drinks. It worked fine until the following evening, when I fell asleep during the main course in a restaurant (and again later - I'll spare you the details).

However, I never did find a good way going from east to west.

Am feeling jet lagged like there's no tomorrow - anyone got any tips? I want to have a reasonable nights sleep tonight so not planning to go to bed until "normal" time if I can avoid it!
