    I need suggestions to survive a 12 hou flight w/o a computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Where to Borg?

     

    I fly quite a bit to Japan and back. Here's my trick for avoiding jet lag. Stay awake on the airplane. Really! It works. Watch the movie, read a book, walk up and down the aisles, or look out the windows. (For the past five years, I've racked up over 50,000 miles per year, and I still can't keep myself from looking out the window.) When you

    arrive, you will most likely stay up until local evening, and be so wiped out that you sleep soundly overnight and adjust almost automatically.

    When I flew to Japan for the first time I did same thing that you suggested. I still had to fight jet lag for a week.

    I am in the Navy.  When I was aboard a ship I was drinking more coffee than water.  I think at that time my blood was half caffeine.   B)

    I agree, Odie. we in the Navy enjoy massive quantities of Coffee that often resembles used motor oil. I know when I go to sea, and even here at home, I have to make sure I don't have too much blood in my Coffee system.

     

     

     

    Sometimes I feel that way too, between the coffee, Dark French Roast, freshly ground, freshly brewed, I clean the pot too B) Some people Never clean the pot, what a shame, you miss SO much. And real cream, non of that non-dairy liquid or powdered nonsense, that stuff clogs your blood vessels, Palm Oil, is very bad for you. and the Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Chocolate, I'm usually Zooming 20 hours a day B) :b-day:

    I need the coffee when I am underway on a ship. I work very long hours and most of it is on my feet. When I go TAD to USS O'Brien will very lucky if I had one day where I can get 8 whole hours of sleep. Normally it might 4 hours before the mid-watch, and 2 hour power nap for lunch.

    Inport I try not to drink too much coffee. I need the caffee kick underway. Esp. for the mid-watch on the bridge.
