      Unhappy Jet Lagged

      I arrived home in Chicago yesterday evening after a week in Germany followed by a week in China.

      Its a 14 hour time difference between Chicago and China.

      I had some nice lucids while away. When you travel east it seems easier to get into the time zone and after a night or two I was able to get lucid easily.

      I had a cool WILD in China. It was an OOBE type dream where I felt strong SP and then rolled out. I floated around in the black and then my hotel room rendered around me. I then flew through the walls into other rooms. After about 4 rooms I found a room with a guy asleep in bed. I was laughing while trying to wake him up - I wanted to see if I could scare him as I was flying around through walls like a ghost. I was laughing so much making these stupid "Whooooo" noises that I woke up.

      Last night back in Chicago I went to bed at 11:00pm. I then lay in the dark wide awake until I gave up and got up at 4:30am. I know from experience that I have at least another 2 nights of sleepless hell. Whats worse is that the weekend is my "prime" LDing time.

      Maybe as I have now had zero hours sleep for over 24 hours I will get some sleep tonight and maybe even some REM - probably not though.

      Aww...at least you had an awesome experience while you were away. Your ghost impression made me lol. Too bad it didn't scare the guy.

      Good luck on getting that REM rebound. Maybe you'll have another WILD!

      Geez man, your travel sounds like mine, do you work for Siemens by chance???

      Jet lag totally messes up my sleep patterns and any chance of gerring lucid. It usually takes me at least two weeks to recover.

      Not Seimens no - but a global CPG - so yes I have to travel to our offices all over.

      It normally takes me 3 or 4 days to get back to normal. So this weekend is hot for LDing - but should be able to get back into it next weekend.

      On the bottle of my melatonin + B6 pills, the label says it's meant to reduce jet lag. Have you guys tried any of those two to resolve jet lag quicker?

      Yes, Lol, I used it on my first night back. I landed Friday late afternoon and stayed up until 11:00pm. I took some melo and went to sleep. I slept a whole 10 minutes and was then wired and wide awake for the rest of the night.

      As Sheogorath said - it you travel east its somewhat easier and you can get lucid. But travelling back west with a 13 hour time difference is nasty.

      Would the guys you were trying to scare look the same as if you actually did go to their rooms and see them? Hmm...

      I laughed so hard. xD I want to try that!
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      That ghost part was hilarious
