   Good to see they fixed the 4th panel, i was wondering how to obtain the superposition of being both awake and alseep at night time.

   Though my experience with flights MEL to LAX, I’ve been doing 4, 5 and 6 and i get almost no jet lag there and only a little jet lag back (going there isnt a big deal as you arrive a few hours before you leave so if you can get just enough rest on the plane your good to soldier on till bed time, LAX to MEL is much worse but thanks to not watching too much video on demand i was able to rest enough, not sleep but just rest)

   I can’t sleep on planes ever because i sleep light and wake up to the slightest noise.
   In which case I overcome jet lag on long haul flights by treating the flight as a 24 hr work shift. 🙂
   Just staying awake for the ENTIRE flight, then taking a long sleep afterwards.
   If you are lucky enough to get in-flight entertainment do the following:
   Watch the movie you least want to watch first, then watch another, then see the movie
   you really wanted to see. Check if there is stuff you’ve already watched too.
   This kills about 9 hours, then you have a few left to eat, urinate etc, flight lands to refuel.
   Then do it all over again :), watch the movies a 2nd time

   How to avoid jet lag:

   Step 1 – Arrive at airport, immediately start drinking.
   Step 2 – Get on plane, continue drinking.
   Step 2.5 – Make sure cabin crew don’t cut you off for acting too drunk.
   Step 3 – Land, immediately start drinking.
   Step 4 – Continue drinking until reasonable hour of sleep (earliest: 9pm), then wake up the next morning feeling extremely hungover but otherwise adjusted to the timezone.
   Step 5 – Hair of the dog.
