Jet lag?

Well, the day of our arrival is fast approaching.
Since QLers are experts at the long flights, what's your favorite remedy for jet lag?

We will try to incorporate these ideas! Unfortunately, Vegas, we're on the "sucks" end of that trip! And double rats, AthenaDawn, the kids are probably mine! ;-) However, I might take the headphones & let their dad deal with them!
;-)
Mandi - don't think we'll make it the 24th, but see you at church the 31st! :-)
You can prevent alot of the jet lag...with Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones. I have the QC3 and they make a huge difference in how I feel when I get off long flights. Not having to hear kids screaming over the engine the whole way is great.
Going to the states you just stay up ...
Coming back sucks....Life
You can't teach experience...
Melatonin suppose to be good , it will help your body to produce those sleeping hormones and you can get to sleep easier
Set your clock to Doha time day before your flight. sounds crazy, but that will give you an idea about what to expect when you are already in another time zone. :)
Yup, that be me. Church of the Epiphany, DESS.

good advice! We've got the DVD player & books & coloring books & small toys. Keep me in prayer! Fortunately, my husband will be with us, and my 9 year old's a big help, too, when he's not fighting with his little brother. ;-) How old is your daughter now?
Mandi - we arrive 23 July. We're currently in the process of saying good-bye to all the relations in the East & attending a few family events before we fly out on the 22nd.
Did I see on another thread that you attend Epiphany, Mandi?
What day are you coming? I leave the US on the 15th, arrive the 16th.

That's a great question! We have had a few flights to figure out what to do to keep her occupied and she was 2 and 3 at the time. We got her an iPod and loaded her favorite movies and music onto it. I took coloring books and regular books to read to her. I took a few toys that were small that she liked. We were also in Bus. class so she had a bigger choice in movies and music than her iPod. I also did not fight with her when everyone else was going to sleep. I let her stay awake and watch the movies, then when she was tired, she crashed out and slept for about 5-6 hours. You are going to be exhausted when you get here from trying to stay on top of your kiddo and keeping him/her occupied. It wasn't all great, we figured all this out over about 4 to 5 flights back and forth to the US. There are still some moments when she was fussy. Hope that helps a bit.

for the encouragement and the kind words. How does your daughter do with the flights? I'm a little concerned with my 4 year old, who's the restless one.
I don't think it will be too bad, you will get to sleep about 5 or 6 hours on the flight over. Have a safe trip!
