I have found that jet lag has wondrous effects in helping me wake up at odd hours, like 4 am.  As this has been continuing since I got back, I quickly discovered that my conscious state has fallen to the level that barely rises above comatose.  It seems that alcohol doesn't do too well in keeping me from waking up at those twilight hours, and I doubt sleeping pills will either (although I don't have any either).  I think age is starting to factor in as well. 

Anyone have any tips they're willing to share to quickly get over jetlag?
