eurpoe is easy for me but it is a little painful. No longer than a 3 hour nap then stay awake until atleast 8pm. Always slept great over night.

Asia would seem easy but I can’t seem to get over that 3am hump.....however Asia is easier coming home as you just stay up the rest of the day and go to bed normal.

What works for me is to avoid booze, sleep through most of the layover, get some exercise, and eat healthy. When I get to the hotel in Europe I’m really tired and sleep is easy. What I have trouble with is domestic flying where one day you get in late and sleep in a little, and then have to force yourself to go to bed the next night because you have a very early van the next day.

You could have stopped with “I don’t like the taste”. Yet your insinuations of alcohol problems and need to avoid blew it. Enjoy your pristine lifestyle in the world of “I”.

Many don’t drink for a multitude of reasons and that is great. Yet you jump right to alcohol problems.

What ever man. I was cracking a joke to Mako about being warped for not liking booze, that’s it.
