Jetlag: How to Beat It

Based on research on airline pilots, studies of astronauts, and conventional and alternative medicine, this book shows how to beat jetlag on long haul flights. It covers how to pick the right flights, food and exercise; how to use medication including melatonin and herbs; and how to use posture, light, sleep, coffee and alcohol. A special chapter also examines the particular problems encountered by women, in connection with jetlag, and how to overcome them.
