Your body clock

[stevewool]

Wow it’s stupid o clock and it’s dark and I feel wide awake, yet last night my body was telling me it’s tired, a few late nights and meal times thrown into the air plus does the Philippines ever slow down even at this hour in the early mornings, one thing for sure is I am waking up before the cockerels , any tips anyone .

Adjusting to their time will take some Days, they say you can adjust 1 hour a day and to my experience it seems right. It usually take a week for me before I am comfortable. I use to try adjusting a couple of hours, the week before my departure, that way it´s not that hard when I arrive 

And the answer is no, Philippines never slow down, lol.

Is this your first time in Philippines Steve?

I find what Viking said to be true in my case. In addition 5mg Melatonin to reset your body clock. Going to bed and waking up at about the same time for the first week is helpful as well. First three or four days are a bit rough.

It’s my fourth time over a ten year period, my last visit was 4 years ago , I know it was chaotic then but you forget these about these things, but it’s ok

It will take about a week to adjust from jetlag and the different time zone Steve.

Cheers graham, a couple of very late nights early mornings did not help , the only good thing about those was a beautiful sunrise .
