    No, sleep times. You can't even think of strategies if you're zoning out. #INZpirED

    I have long struggled with this as sleepless nights are common. #inzpired

    I turn off the wifi completing during the night and try take a break when I start feeling jet lagged #INZpirED

  • Doctor_Harves Dec 23 @ 9:46 PM EST
    does sleep work like that? get some in reserve just in case? #inzpired
    In reply to @JKatzaman
  • rsehji - Moderator Dec 23 @ 9:46 PM EST
    so what is your strategy to change that? #INZPirED
    In reply to @nsulla
  • JKatzaman Dec 23 @ 9:48 PM EST
    It's not getting sleep in reserve as much as adjusting your hours so everything doesn't hit you all at once. #INZpirED

  • nsulla Dec 23 @ 9:50 PM EST
    This stuff is really good: magnesium is key for sleeping. FYI, if you take acid reflux meds, you bcome deficient. #INZpirED
    In reply to @mjjohnson1216
  • JKatzaman Dec 23 @ 9:50 PM EST
    The rule of thumb I heard is that it takes a day to adjust for each hour of time change. #INZpirED
    In reply to @rsehji, @Doctor_Harves

    Interesting thought! #INZPirED

    More magnesium! Less TV and t-chats before sleeping. No caffeine after noon. Meditate on pleasant thoughts. #INZpirED

    It's a matter of pacing and common sense. You can't chat all the time and function. I do and I don't. #INZpirED

    I combat that with coffee, shower and more tea/coffee when at work the next day #INZPirED

    #INZpired Social jet lag?
  • rsehji - Moderator Dec 23 @ 9:57 PM EST
    true that! Learning to disengage from social media, e-stress is important sometimes! #INZPirED
    In reply to @JKatzaman, @Doctor_Harves
  • Doctor_Harves Dec 23 @ 9:58 PM EST
    is a stimulant like coffee just postponing the jet lag? #inzpired

    O dear did you say "more coffee"😳When do you rest? I need to sleep earlier too #INZpirED
    In reply to @PranSang, @JKatzaman, @Doctor_Harves
  • JKatzaman Dec 23 @ 10:00 PM EST
    Coffee fighting jet lag is like coffee fighting a hangover. You just have a wide awake drunk. #INZpirED
    In reply to @Doctor_Harves, @PranSang, @rsehji
  • JenaiaMorane Dec 23 @ 10:00 PM EST
    #INZPirED by social jet lag do you mean social media jet lag?
  • rsehji - Moderator Dec 23 @ 10:01 PM EST
    it might only do the reverse I think. #INZpirED
    In reply to @Doctor_Harves, @PranSang, @JKatzaman

    We need sleep pods at work ... 20 min. naps improve productivity. #INZpirED

    #inzpired Okay, well I am not much of a socialite, but my mind does get wound up, so I do my best to meditate 2x daily and exercise.
  • PranSang Dec 23 @ 10:03 PM EST
    #INZPirED coffee is for fighting late nights and next day early at work

    I find that works the first day. It's the lag part that beats you up. #INZpirED

    I set my FitBit for a goal of 7 hours sleep, with a target bedtime of 11PM ... and I live for that "good for you" badge LOL #INZpirED
  • JenaiaMorane Dec 23 @ 10:05 PM EST
    #inzpired Big thing for a lot of folks is cortisol. If I can get myself back in my center, & not OD on caffeine I'm usually ok.
  • PranSang Dec 23 @ 10:05 PM EST
    yes in a way, but my work requires me to be wide awake and attentive so make do with it #INZPirED
    In reply to @Doctor_Harves, @rsehji, @JKatzaman
  • rsehji - Moderator Dec 23 @ 10:05 PM EST
    it took me longer this time round. Age a factor?? Or maybe no routines w/out kids #INZpirED

    #INZpired TY Nancy. I will say that a lot of folks seem 2 use SM as a pacifier. Like creating a bubble around selves
