\"Neon<\/a><\/p>\n

With the attention given to travel lately (Dopplr<\/a> springs to mind, as well as my own increased flight frequency this year) I thought I\u2019d finally write up my experiences with a jet lag prevention technique called Jet Lag Passport. <\/p>\n

I was planning my trip to Las Vegas earlier this year when I was approached by Daimon Sweeney. He invited me to check out this small booklet he\u2019d written (sold on his website<\/a> for 10.25 GBP) that described a pressure points and meditation routine aimed at syncing your biological clock to local time. Being a Fortean and martial artist, I saw no reason not to try it. I printed out the PDF he\u2019d sent me for free (in exchange for a blog post if I liked it) and stashed in my carry-on bag. While taking off I took a look at it for the first time. The routine was easy to remember and takes up very little time. You repeat it for every two hours of flight. <\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s always hard to objectively say whether this stuff actually works (and to be honest I feel that\u2019s beside the point) it worked for me. I had a short stay in Vegas (I arrived on Friday evening and left on Monday evening) and a long flight in comparison. I got into the rhythm of things on arrival effortlessly and had none of the weird sudden attacks of fatigue so typical of jet lag. This stuff may not be for everyone, perhaps an open mind and some experience with meditation (however small) is a prerequisite, but I\u2019ll be sure to give it a try the next time I take one of these long flights.<\/p>\n

Check out the booklet at Daimon’s website<\/a> and who knows, if you promise to blog it, he\u2019ll let you try it for free\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
