[quote=Anonymous]We live in Asia and travel back to the US at least twice a year. The time difference is 12 or 13 hours (depending on Daylight Savings time) and the jet lag is brutal. It just is. My best tips are to power through and get on the destination's schedule (I.e. don't take a nap if you arrive at 8AM, just try to stay up until 7 or 8PM). Get morning sunlight, eat breakfast at a reasonable time, make sure you get a lot of light exposure during the day. Taking melatonin helps but only for a couple of days. Take it before bedtime to supplement your brain's pineal gland, which will be secreting it's melatonin during the day because your internal clock is still on the "old" time. You can take it simultaneously with magnesium. Good luck.[/quote]
