Speaker A: 
I think that comfort on board can help in dealing with jet lag. I always get an aisle seaton long flights. It is rather necessary because you don’t bother or annoy other sleeping passengers when going to the toilet. Also, on boarding I always wait till the end as sometimesyou can be extra lucky. If the flight you’re on is not all booked up, you might be able tohave a whole row of seats to yourself, so you can lie down and actually have some sleep.

Speaker B:

Arriving home I felt like death. Now I know how to get rid of this awful feeling. Firstly,this deals with my internal biological clock that needs some gradual preparation. Now I knowyou can ease yourself into a new time zone by consciously manipulating your exposure tolight. The body feels extra tired when it adapts to a new light schedule. So, if you plan totravel east you should shorten your day, getting away from the light earlier.

Speaker C:

The trip was only eighteen hours long, but with jet lag it felt as if I had spent at least threewhole days in an airplane seat between two grumpy businessmen. Well, I sat up in the middleof the night trying to keep awake. I think that at times you have to make yourself go to bedwhen you don’t want to. And at other times you should make yourself get up when you don’t want to. I think it can really help to get back into the local time zone as quickly as possible.

Speaker D: 

As for me, I completely disagree with people who state that there’s no such thing as jet lag. I experienced it myself after I travelled from Indonesia to Britain, which means going backwards into yesterday. I think that jet lag isn’t as bad coming the other way, when you’re flying east all the time. So perhaps the way
 of dealing with it might be always to fly eastwards.

Speaker E:

Jet lag goes away quickly when you know how to handle it easily. My philosophy is somepeople drive to work and I fly to work. Usually I have a rest before 
 the flight and I takenaps during it. But my secret tip is hot water. What you do is sit in a hot tub for fiveminutes every one hour of time change the day you arrive. So, if the time change is eighthours, you take a forty-minute bath. You should keep the water as hot as possible. Afterthat you’ll be as good as new.

Speaker F:

Jet lag never used to be an issue for me... and it still isn’t. I think, firstly, it’s becauseI drink lots of water as experts recommend. Usually I get two cups before getting on myflight and about one liter every hour of the flight. Well, it really causes some inconveniencebut all in all it’s worth doing. Secondly, I adjust my meals wherever I am. Sometimes Ireally force myself to eat at proper time. Regulating your eating habits really helps.
