Day 1 in New York began while everyone was busy with their day. Right now, they are all fast asleep while I am wide awake. I believe it will take me some time to fully adjust to their time.

Yes, and then when you are into the new routine, it will be time to leave and you will be whacked again!

Thats definitely true. Be here for about 53 days l know l can fully adjust bt that time. Coming back home would be another thing to deal with especially when there is a 12hour time difference to deal with

@rsa101 Oh yeah, you have time to adjust and get into the swing. Then, as you say, have to deal with it again going home. Good luck! Is this for work?

@kareng Oh no, I'm just taking a quick vacation with my sister. After 53 days, I'll be home again. For some reason, it seems easier to adjust back home than it is here.

I was able to sleep for a few more hours, which I believe is a positive indication that I'm getting used to their schedule. However, I am aware that there will be days when my body clock will not be able to adjust.

Yes, after waking up at 12 a.m., I was still able to sleep for another couple of hours. I hope these are signs that I am gradually adjusting.

You need to drink plenty of fluids; at the very least, that might help.

I can relate to what you are saying since I went through jetlag on an airplane trip from Honolulu to San Francisco in 1973 while on vacation with my relatives.
