When I was in USA for first time it was UDS-N in Orlando. Previous week it was Ubuntu/Linaro rally in Dallas.
In Orlando I had a problem with waking up very early (like ~4:00) but on return flight I slept for most of flight so in Frankfurt it was early morning for me and I was not sleepy. Next days were also fine.
But this time it is other way ;( In Dallas I also was waking up early but after drinking some water I was able to get back to sleep. Return flight was disaster… There were few small children crying for most of time and I forgot to take ear plugs ;(
Yesterday I nearly felt to keyboard after 15:00, today I am yawning since about same time… Argh you jetlag!
There’s a natural way of avoiding jet lag, it works for me, and for a number of our colleagues too: :-) http://www.wisebread.com/how-to-naturally-reset-your-sleep-cycle-overnight
Great tip for jet lag, btw – got something for birds starting their ‘concerto grosso’ every single night at 3:00am near the hotel I’m staying for the last 2 weeks of my business trip ;) ? – and no I don’t have a two smoking barrels.
