Tips & Warnings

• I followed the advice from my friends and books not to sleep at day time no matter how sleepy I am, and wait until night to go to bed. According to the advice, this is the only way to get rid of jet lag. This theory is widely accepted, and practices. I followed the instruction every time - to stay awake for the first day, but still just suffer so much from it This time, I felt really sleepy as soon as I get out of the airplane. I drove to San Jose, had Vietnamese noodle and went to hotel. This time, the first I did was to go to bed and slept. At around 9:00 AM Shanghai time (5:00 PM San Jose), I wake up, had dinner, and get back to bed to sleep again. The next morning, I wake up (I didn't wake up in the middle - I am the sleep guy anyway). What a magic! For the whole day, I didn't feel anything - no jet lag, and I am still refreshed for the whole day - I even didn't noticed that I am in another time zone. Finally, I found out my cure to jet lag - to sleep as much as possible, instead of staying awake for the first day. It may also work for other guys who likes sleep. A conclusion: do not aways listen to what others say. Try it yourself. It is a shame that I just found it out after so many times of international travel.
