Fighting Jetlag
Filed in archive Business Travel on February 17, 2006
As defined by the dictionary, "Jetlag is a temporary disruption of bodily rhythms caused by high-speed travel across several time zones typically in a jet aircraft".
For those who are crossing several time zones, it's easy to recover if you are on your way to vacation. Going somewhere where you are allowed to slowly recover and adjust to the local time is ideal. However, some of us aren't as lucky.
Business travellers, especially, have to cross several time zones. But, as soon the destination is reached, meetings have to be attended, based on the local time. Business travellers cannot afford to take it easy and adjust their body clocks.
What to do? Well, the net is a mine of information. Here are just a few "solutions" to jetlag:
No-Jet-Lag is a homeopathic remedy that has been "proven scientifically and is recognized internationally". Apparently, if you take this medicine, you will feel fresher after arrival. Hmmmm... forgive me for being a bit skeptical about this.
The Jetlag Calculator, on the other hand, offers a more logical (but not that easy) solution... re-set your body clock.
Gorp does not pretend to give you the perfect solution but tells travellers what to do and not to do, in order to reduce the effects of jetlag. I am putting my money on this option.
Which do you think is best?

Jetlag got you down? Fart more, frown less!
The average homo sapien sapien flatulates a half-liter of gas per day, dispersed over 14 individual periods of relief.
A flight to Hawaii takes approximately half a day.
If you don't break wind at least 7 times on the way to Hawaii you are going to feel bloated when you get there.
Fart away! Just make sure that if it's extra raunchy that you look at an unsuspecting passenger with disgust, as if he/she was the one to drop it. Be careful not to do this prematurely or your guilt will be defined by one of man's most basic laws: He who smelt it dealt it.

I agree that Gorp is not the perfect solution, though it is very sensible. I'd go for it and combine it with adjusting my body clock before traveling.
