Getting Through the Night - An Extremely Bored Moment

Need to keep eyes open. No sleeping night before flight. I'm not getting much of the writing bug nor is there anything interesting to watch on telly. I have yet to pack my bag. That can wait till later. I've got another 15 hours to burn before leaving for the airport.....

Mental Note AGAIN : Remember to book cab first thing in the morning.

How to Control Jet Lag
- For destinations with big time differences

  • Book flights that arrive early morning at your destination
  • Do not sleep the night before. Best if you can get yourself so whacked out (detailed description of your method of whack out can be omitted, thank you very much) that it is instant lights-off even before plane takes off . Note : Lights off before take-off, not lights off before entering the plane. This should ensure a good sleep through the 10+ hours flight. But if you are a light sleeper, sorry, can't help you there. Must learn to master the art of sleeping through clumsy cling-clangs of food trolley.
  • Request for "Do Not Disturb" sticker. Stewardesses practise maternal instincts and have a tendency to wake you up during meal times. But if you're a dead-to-the-world sleeper like me, then the stewardesses would start thinking you've gone into coma. Or so I've been told once by someone sitting next to me. On a separate occasion, a stewardess actually thanked me and wished she had more coma passengers like me. Thanks.
  • Don't even bother to fantasize about "What I can do in an airplane" - unless you are some drop-dead gorgeous chick/dude, you will not stand (in every sense of the word) a chance. Walking up and down the aisle a thousand times will not realise your fantasy. Save the rest of the travellers a migraine. For the ugly dudes, unless blessed with a big knob (just cover your head - erm.. the top one - and drop the pants) , GET REAL AND GO SLEEP. If you are both gorgeous and blessed, watch out for Samantha Jones wannabes.
  • If you managed to achieve total concuss, you should feel quite energised upon arriving at destination. You will still feel lethargic and tired now and again throughout the day but DO NOT at any point take a nap. The nap will usually turn to sleep as your body still screams bedtime. Do anything and everything to force yourself to stay awake - except sex for obvious reasons. By night time, you will be pretty much exhausted and sleep through the night without a hassle. Okay. You can have your sex at that time, on the condition that no mechanical parts have malfunctioned by then due to exhaustion.
  • If you didn't managed to sleep on the flight, good luck!

If this method works for you, your body should automatically adjust to the time difference. If it doesn't, too bad.

Doesn't take alot of brains to figure out I am suffering from an extremely bored moment as I have just written out method on controlling jet lagged.


And now, my bags are packed!
Didn't take me 10 minutes.


Current Bitch-O-Meter Reading : Mild.

Bitching comes in different 4 levels - don't bother, mild, mediocre AND... touch-me-and-I'll-bite-you.

Need more dosage of boost injection to hit the final level.....
