Jet Lag

[Oogie]

I was out visiting a country that's 12 hours ahead. Now I'm home, and I fall asleep at 5 PM and wake up at 1 AM, which doesn't even make sense because I live in Jersey City.

Can someone give me a solution for this stupid jet lag?

Raw eggs, morphine, man kegels?

Only go to sleep at the "normal" time for where you are. Skip a night if necessary to make this happen.

Melatonin.

Stop complaining about getting eight hours of sleep, damn it.  I haven't enjoyed that luxury in ages.  Show-off.

More seriously, yesno is on the button here:  make yourself stay awake till your usual bedtime and the next day get up when you normally do.  You'll be tired for a couple of days, but that'll pass.

I'm a-scaird, but I'll do it.

I just kind of feel like I'm now a superhero: I've conquered the ho-hum rhythm of sleep, and while the little people are snoozing, I am AWAKE in my 1st floor walkup fortress, creating, not capturing, the zeitgeist with an inflamed mind, ready to rip the shit UP in FOTchan 2000...

I hate to lose the power.

But I don't want to end up like Nick Nolte in the Hulk.
