Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I must have got sucked into advertising that I am going to feel like Nicole Kidman having a glorious time in her suite mid air..ha ha, or that I would be able to rush off to important meetings straight from the plane...just had the 25 mins zombie teabreak at work...oh well, day 5 today, lets hope a drug free sleep tonight. Seychelles was 6 hrs behind Melbourne so I must be almost fixed !
You can't recover from desynchronosis by simply having a good sleep on the flight or when you arrive having a good snooze. It's completely regardless of how comfortable your seat is...you could fly in a VIP 747 with the best king-size bed, and still suffer the effects. It takes days to recover fully, as your body clock will synchronise by 1-1.5 hours per day. You can fight through the fatigue but it's no surprise you're waking up in the early hours of the morning.

Just like 'curing' a hangover, no matter how much melatonin, blue light therapy etc. you try, the only guaranteed method is time.
