5.0 out of 5 stars A SLEEP SUITE RECOMMENDATION, February 23, 2000

By	[e-mail] (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews

I recommend this book to all my sleep-deprived customers. Jet lag is NOT inevitable. In an easy to follow program Ehret shows how you can beat nature at its own game through the judicious use of food, light and exercise. The best purchase a regular traveller can make.

5.0 out of 5 stars It really works!, November 24, 1999

By	Thomas J Brumm (Ames, Iowa) - See all my reviews

I've followed the advice in this book for numerous trips to Japan and Korea. It really works - I rarely have trouble with jet lag. The advice they give is not gimmicky or based on folklore. It's a matter of changing your behavior and diet a few days before you leave, and during the initial adjustment. Especially important is start acting like you're on destination time as soon as you get on the plane - just the opposite of what the airlines do. The authors explain about what is actually going on it your body as it tries to adjust. I've found their method is simple, easy and understandable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for vacationers or business travellers, September 5, 2001

By	Robert T. Nicholson (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I began using this system in 1986, based on an earlier version of this book. I've used it repeatedly on trips to Europe and Asia, and I've been able to make the best use of my first day at my destination every time. On the few occasions when I couldn't use this system (due to sudden unexpected trips), I found out how debilitating jet lag can be... like having a case of the flu, I was just "out of it" for a couple of days!

I've given copies of this book to many friends and business associates over the years, and all have praised the results!
