Are jet lag pills effective?

[Pagans]

Going to Europe most people are ok in terms of jet lag. It’s the coming home, eastbound, that can hammer you!

But in to the pills… depends what’s in them. Homeopathic, no idea. But ones containing melatonin may be useful.

There is - apparently - an ‘art’ to using melatonin for jet lag, which is to go to bed with the curtains open. Melatonin works with darkness and your body clock, so leaving the curtains open and waking up with the sunrise is - allegedly - the optimal use. The melatonin puts you to sleep, but wears off with light. So the theory goes that whatever time you go to sleep, you’ll wake up with your body clock reset at dawn. That applies if you go to bed at 6pm, or 1am.

I have found this to be the case, but only sometimes.

Sometimes the melatonin only works for a short time. Sometimes it really knocks me out and i feel groggy for the whole next day. Sometimes it works perfectly. It’s a bit hard to predict. And doses can be all over the place. The USA sells pills in doses many times higher than allowed in Australia i believe.

Nowadays I don’t use melatonin. If i’m not tired at night time on arrival in Europe I’ll take a sleeping tablet, and hope that it lasts long enough till the morning.

Exactly right it's the eastbound that hammers you.Being in my sixties knocked me for six for a few days.
