Jet Lag And Driving
February 13, 2010 - 6:39 am
I was flying from the US to Ireland on an overnight flight. When I got to Ireland, I had to drive us to our hotel and I was very worried about driving a right-hand-drive mini van on the wrong side of the road after a long flight and jet lag. So, I tried to sleep on the plane as much as possible with ear plugs and had no caffeine. Once I arrived, I got a cup of coffee first thing, and then got the van. Before even leaving the airport, I found a parking lot and practiced for 20 minutes. It was very helpful. The sleep on the plane and the coffee helped me feel refreshed and alert.
