Sample StopJetLag Time-Change Day Instructions

Here is a sampling of the level of detail you will receive in your StopJetLag Plan. (The example traveler is a coffee drinker and has a connection in New York on the flight from San Francisco to Paris)

Why the specific times for bright light, melatonin and caffeine
are not shown on the sample Plan

Since the timing for bright light exposure, melatonin supplements, and caffeine are specific to the personal profile of the individual as well as the time change and direction of shift (and taken at the incorrect time they can actually shift your body in the opposite direction), the specific timing for these major influences on your body clock are only furnished on a reviewed StopJetLag Plan and are not included on this sample.

The Evolution of Jet Lag Counter-Measures


Dr. Charles Ehret
"Dealing with jet lag is a complex problem. I tried for many years to come up with rules of thumb for dealing with jet lag by incorporating each and every one of the scientifically proven body clock re-setters (zeitgebers) and finally realized that either I had to analyze every trip for sleep deprivation (an impossible task given the unlimited number of possible flight itineraries) or co-author an expert system computer program to make such knowledge available to all travelers."
