LSA develops "cure" for Jet Lag

This is good work. I know a lot of flight crews would appreciate this kind of study. As my body clock is jacked up.

I saw the title of this thread and thought, "I did?" at first, but in all seriousness, it's a pretty cool app from the look of it  - here's the video that accompanies the article. Amazing stuff:

Don't you just make fists with your feet on carpet while barefoot?

Why did you have your genome mapped?  Just curious.

(LS&A is a school not a department.  Just to be that guy.)

Will you tour have t-shirts available for purchase?!  You gotta push merch on the masses.

Good luck on your journey.  Work or play?  Or both?   

Also, cool app.

Hang on, you had your genome mapped?  I never knew such a service was available...

Download now while it's still free.

Seems like it hits the sweet spot of being useful without being overly complicated.

I never knew LSA was useful. They actually do things!

during my time in the AF (obviously not as much as a commercial pilot) there really isn't a "cure" for jet lag, but it seems this app is a great way to figure out your body's best way to minimize the effects.  The general rule of thumb was that you needed a day for every time zone you crossed.  Also, you wanted to "be doing" what the folks are doing where you are headed.  So, if the country you are traveling to is sleeping, you should be sleeping on the plane.  It sounds like the creator of the app figured out the best strategies, plus the own body's resiliancy to sleep deprivation, to maximize one's body clock adjustments.  Bravo!

My wife just traveled from Shanghai to Ann Arbor on Tuesday. She is trying it out but having 3 kids with her creates complications.

Ha, I took a class with Danny last year! Awesome professor!! I'm not really mathematically inclined, unlike the other PhDs in math/BME/biology that were taking the math modelin class that he taught, but he still did a great job bringing things to a level that I could understand. Really cool guy, glad to see him getting some good pub.

admittedly, my travel by plane is infrequent and usually for pleasurable purposes, rather than business.  However, something my father told me when I was 19 and travelled to Ireland that has really resonated with me:

Being tired is pretty sucky,  just rub some whiskey on it and deal with it.

I'll give it a try on my upcoming trip to Italy in May.

I agree with GoWings about getting into your new destination's time zone as quickly as possible.  I have a hard time sleeping on planes though - who can resist staying up to watch bad movies!

Now just add some binaural beats plugins and crush it at sleeping.

I've been trying out some sleep-type apps, as I usually start stressing myself out as I fall asleep, resulting in vivid nightmares that plague me until well into the work morning. Ambient-genre music with binaural beats layered underneath seems to help.

Anyone know where in the AppStore? I search entrainment but there are several and I have no idea which one to choose.

Read about this a few days ago.  I'm interested and will download to my iPad one of these days.  I travel almost every week and have been to Europe 3 times this year, with at least 3-4 more Europe trips this year (the other 40 trips are domestic).  Jet lag can be a killer.  Some of my colleagues do the melatonin thing, although I don't.  I just try to adjust sleep schedules in flight, use a sleep mask, and hot showers before bed. 

What has always worked for me is to walk barefoot on grass at the destination when possible.  This "grounding" process helps to adjust to the local time.  Try it out.

"I recently had my genome mapped and fourtunately my circadian rhythm is somewhat forgiving."

Where do I get this genome mapping done?  Sounds expensive as hell.

am I missing the name of the app somewhere?

Sedatives help you sleep when the other country is sleeping. Great stuff.
