I would also like to give a shout out to all my followers that contacted me during the break, I appreciate the loyalty; I had to handle some personal sturvs please bear with me...the good news is that I am back full time...yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay lets go back to business. Today's blog is on 'Jet lag' First and foremost, I'm gonna go ahead and define that word for those that are not familiar with it. According to Dictionary.com, Jet lag is a temporary disruption of the body's normal biological rhythms after a high-speed air travel or through several time zones. Got it? Ok cool....now lets move on. So I travelled from point A to point B, a few days ago, and have not been able to sleep at night in point B. I sleep in the daytime and stay up all night..smh. I have been thinking about taking melatonin, a medication that adjusts your sleep wake cycle...but I have a problem with submitting my body to man-made concoctions....drugs! I really do..*hiss* I'm the kind of chic that will offer my friend my bed and a blanket to lay down instead of a pain killer for a head ache, for realz. So I guess I could be called an anti-pharmacological human being lol.. My thinking: our body produces way too many chemicals naturally so why add some more chaos to the already COMPLICATED mix? LOL.. weird huh? Give it a thot before judging me!
So back to my topic...Jetlag! I need help..I really do, Its approximately 8.30am in the current city that I am in which is 5 hours ahead of my city of origin, and I haven't slept! Not even for a minute...this is killing me. I don't have to be at work or school here, but I do have office hours commitments to deal with..phone calls and all, but I will be sleeping during that time!!!!!!!!!! So I guess my question to you all is:::What shall I do? has anybody experienced this? is anybody experiencing this now? Or does anybody have helpful ideas? Please share your honest thots and opinions below. Thanks!

I think you should take the Melatonin...okay, I'm kidding.
The best way to cure Jet-lag (from my experience) is to 'force' yourself, gradually, into the new location's climate. This means that you have to stay away from sleeping in the day time at your current location - albeit difficult. You can go out, catch a movie, take a stroll to make this easy. Then sleep early that night. This should help.

Nice joke there..LOL. Thanks for the advice Don TMC, I will certainly try your suggestions out..
cute eimos whats up?
i recommend a shot glass of Jack Daniels Whisky, pounded yam and a boring movie. that will definitely knock you out.
Hope you are having fun at point B. Take care.
Ha ha ha, interesting suggestion, but I have one question for you Idmann, have you tried your recommendation before? If yes, was it successful?
