[net.med] How do I prepare to fight JET LAG?

All the way from NJ to CA.  Wow!! :-)

Sorry about that.  I'm about to leave for Finland (10 time zones) so
3 time zones seems like nothing.

Seriously though there is a little book available in most book shops
called "Overcoming Jet Lag" by Dr. Charles F. Ehret and Lynne Waller
Scanlon, published by Berkeley Books.  It costs $4.95 and has a
remarkably ugly red and white cover.

The method proposed involves special dietary arrangements starting
2 or 3 days before the flight and proper planning of active/resting
cycles to retrain your circudian rhythms to the new time zone.

Based on my experiences from many flights home to England from CA. I
believe the information given in this book to be useful.
