Try "Simply Sleep".
There's nothing in it that will make you jittery. It will allow you to rest & you can find it at any store without a prescription.
Take it before 10 pm so that you'll be fully awake when the morning comes.
Have a safe flight. :) |

Do everything possible to not sleep until this evening. Take short walks to stay awake.
At bedtime, take an over the counter sleep aid or a UK version of "Benadryl". Chemical name: diphenhydramine.
This will make you sleepy and it isn't habit-forming. Good luck dear, I haven't slept at all for last night yet. I'm completely off-track and have been for a year since my daughter got married. |

Lie down straight, take a deep breath, inhale and exhale. Repeat for around 10 times and then turn on your side. It works!!!
Also try drinking a glass of warm milk with one teaspoon of honey some time before going to sleep. |

Seriously, don't panic, that will only make it harder.
There are herbal remedies available from supermarkets, have you tried those?
Try going to bed ridiculously early, 7.30pm or so then your body may have the chance to catch up on some missed sleep.
Good luck, good night, sleep tight :) |

Do the following in order:
1. Go to the gym or do some really strenuous exercise - a very very long walk. Something that will physically tire you out.
2. Before you go to bed have a slow warm bath.
3. When you get into bed, tense all of your muscles as hard as you can and hold for 20 seconds. Really squeeze your palms tight, clench your buttocks etc. Then relax. Do this 3 times to completely relax your whole body.
4. Then imagine yourself lying on a fluffy white cloud that is sinking. Breath normally and as you exale, count backwards from 100 with each breath. With each breath imagine you are sinking deeper and deeper into the cloud and into sleep. It's a form of self hypnosis. It will send you to sleep. |

When I need to get up early the night before I take a shower or a nice relaxing bath which ever is available. Then I also take some Advil P.M. I like this versus a regular sleeping pill because it has the medicine to make me sleep but the Advil also helps my body in general to relax from the days wear and tear. Whenever I do this I always get a full nights sleep and when I wake up I feel nice and refreshed.
I hope this has given you some ideas and I hope you get some sleep and back on schedule. Happy Holidays!!! |

The supplement Melatonin is a safe sleeping aid. It's a synthetic version of the chemicals your body produces to produce sleep. It works well for me and my kids. Their child psychiatrist told me it was harmless and non addicting. They could accidental take the whole bottle with out heath risk.
I take one or two and it helps me go to sleep withing ten twenty minutes. It doesn't keep you asleep. If I awaken after a few hours, I just take another 1 or 2. It won't make you feel dopey or fuzzy brained in the morning either. |

How many time zones did you cross, and which way did you travel to get home? If you came west, your jet lag problems will be less than if you traveled east.
If you're only an hour or so off, you'll be a little tired in the AM, but you'll be fine. If you flew non-stop from San Francisco to London, you'll be tired for a day or two, so don't stress too much.
Before you go to bed, do what you normally did before your trip. You've already got a bit of a conditioned reflex. Go to bed at most an hour before your regular bed time. Avoid alcohol. It will put you to sleep right away, but you'll wake up very early and will be unable to go back to sleep.
Above all, don't get stressed. The worst thing that will happen is, you'll be drinking more caffeine drinks to stay awake at work. By Wednesday latest, you'll be fine. |

Take Nytol - it always works for me, it's brilliant. |

I would avoid having any caffiene or sugar after noon. I would also, get some exercise in the early afternoon and try to get some exposure to natural light. Then, in the evening, have some wine with dinner and take a hot bath or shower to relax. Try to go to bed a little earlier than you normally would, to give yourself extra time to fall asleep. I would also take a benadryl or a melatonin to help you fall asleep. Don't worry too much -- the worry itself may prevent you from sleeping well. Just try to relax and pretend that your schedule has been the same these last two weeks. |

hey you
|
take a hot bath
try some chamomile tea, or sleepy time tea (both are decaff)
read a book
warm milk,
pray
no caffeine or exercising 4-6 hours before you plan on going to bed |

lmao@ Margaret Thatcher...that's frakin' hilarious.
What do you usually do to get to sleep? Some people like it really dark, some like the tv on, some like the window open. Do whatever you usually do when you are having trouble getting to sleep...after having taken a hot bath and listened to some relaxing music.
For me, sometimes a nightcap or two helps ;)
Good luck and welcome home! (Even though I'm all the way in Canada...) |

Try listening to the collected speeches of Margaret Thatcher over the BBC.
Nighty-night! |

You're going to have to get yourself back on schedule slowly. I would suggest trying to sleep whenever you get the chance today. Even if you don't get the so called 8 hours, at least you've rested. Your clock doesn't have to be perfect, you just have to feel great. |
