Abstract

A 55-year-old physician is planning a trip from Los Angeles to London to attend a scientific conference. His previous trip to Europe was complicated by sleepiness during meetings and difficulty falling asleep and remaining asleep at night. He wants to know what he can do to avoid jet lag. What would you advise?
