Doctor Travel’s Perscribes: Jet Lag: Eat, Wash, or Smell it Away? Travel tip: Change-Your-Watch Cure Adapt to your new time zone as quickly as possible, especially at meal and sleep times. On the plane: Change your watch to your destination time zone. Sleep on the plane if it is bedtime in your arrival city; stay awake if it isn’t bedtime. When you arrive: Don’t think about what time it is back home. Resist taking a nap because naps delay adjustment to your new time zone. If you must nap, make it a brief one. If you are on a business trip and need to keep track of the time in your home office, a watch with two time zones may work for you. As a very frequently traveler, I must have a home time to understand what my body is telling me. Eat, sleep, exercise, whatever. Even though I may be unable to accept that time has changed, I try to keep the same schedule when out of town – especially on bicoastal trips where the time zones are either two hours earlier or two hours later. Then the return to my home time is not so dramatic. (Taken from page 189) James Feldman, (a.k.a.

Communiquest is pleased to share some of Mr. Feldman’s travel wisdom with our readers, who from time to time must deal with lines, cancellations, lost luggage, and a person in the adjacent seat making extensive use of the air sickness bag.
