Kyle just returned from his trip to Turkey.
K: Kyle E: Eric
E: Hey, Kyle. How was your trip to Turkey? Judging from your posts, it looked like you had an amazing time.
K: I sure did. But actually, I was struggling with jet lag back then.
E: That’s because traveling several time zones to the east causes worse jet lag than flying to the west.
K: Totally. During the day in Turkey, all I wanted to do was sleep. And at night, my mind was racing.
E: You should’ve slept on the plane. That’s supposed to help.
K: No. It’s too difficult for me to fall asleep on flights.

E: Try to bring an eye mask, earplugs, and a neck pillow with you next time. Plus, I may know some tricks that can help you get over jet lag.
K: Really? Please, tell me.
E: Try not sleeping at all during the day. This way, you’ll be extremely tired when it’s nighttime and will surely fall asleep.
K: All right. Do you have any other methods I can try?
E: Sure. Soaking up some more sunlight in the day can also help you sleep.
K: You’ve done me a great favor. I’ll try them. Thanks!
