""assengers on long-haul flights are being urged to wear sunglasses in a bid to reduce the effects of jet lag.

Interesting...

Might have to try that!

Does this mean i have an excuse for wearing sunglasses after a red eye? Seem to recall i recieved quite a ribbing from Mr Reiffer for just that after the LAS social [:P]

Thanks,
Sarah

We had a guy come in to check-in for a Delta flight a couple days ago.

4am, and he comes in wearing sunglasses. Now I'm thinking to myself, what an idiot; there's nowhere darker at 4am than our little regional airport, what the hell does he need sunglasses for?

Perhaps he got a hold of the bbc story [:?]

Got back from LA yesterday, so when should I wear my sunglasses? If the time difference is eight hours behind for the west coast, should I have them on in the morning?[:?]

Cheers,

Scientists in Edinburgh have found that people can adjust their body clocks when travelling to different time zones by altering their light patterns."

Hi, Mat!

That article is tantalizing but it stops before giving us what we need: will you volunteer to ring up the sleepcentre for the juicy detail on when and for how long to wear the sunglasses? With two upcoming trips to the UK I'd like to be prepared.[8D]

Thanks! Chuck-
