Jet Lag

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

4.42am Thursday (UK time) and I'm wide awake!
My body still thinks it is 11.42pm Wednesday.
Flew Monday / Tuesday and was up 36 hours with around 2 hours total sleep during that period including taking in the Leipzig game,. Went to bed 1am Wednesday and woke up 3.30pm
Watching loads of YouTube videos currently with no sign of crashing

When you going home? The Smyths at the Ritz next Saturday.

Put a Morrissey LP on.


You'll be asleep in no time.

Why the fuck is this thread still open? It should have been closed after this post.

Never suffered from it. Perhaps as I never slept on the plane anyway. Always used to plan on arriving around 7 or 8pm local time, have a few drinks and go to bed. I would then normally wake up at the usual local time and never had any problems.

Haven't flown for years though as I travel everywhere by train now.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Wow, what a job.

Well he was the pilot afterall.

Wow, what a job.

Did have its problems though.
Getting a bollocking from cabin staff when one old man in my party crapped himself (and the seat).
Plane delayed at Rome when old lady from group got off plane (thinking we were a Sydney) and wandered around the airport. I had to join search.
Problems at customs (especially US) with some of the pills the old folk were carrying.
Airport-Hotel coach transfers not turning up.
Losing members of the group in airports, toilets and hotels.
Arguing with hotel receptionists over room allocations.
etc. etc.
...Believe me, I earned my wages

ps Some of the female passengers were quite erm...let's say friendly :)

After about 40 hours of getting up.

Fair play to you for batting on but you look fucked mate.

I’m available to spread my messages of cheer at birthdays, retirements, weddings and other special occasions

The OAPs?

Anytime I have flown back to Manchester it has been a 10 or 11pm flight and that's after getting up at 6am the morning of.
Can't sleep on the plane so it means I land in Manchester around 12-1pm local time after being up for 24/25hrs.
Always try to stay up until at least 10pm so end up going to bed after being awake for around 36 hrs.
I once flew home for a long weekend and din't go to bed at all.

We were heading back to the hotel and my mate said, "I'm going to the Augustiner keller. I'll see you in the morning".
Like fuck. I'm coming too. I could barely hold that glass up with one hand.
