A couple generous shots of vodka should do it.
i quit drinking in november but i tell you what, that vodka they have here really looks interesting. not sure how well i would do in a slovak jail. [:D]
Pull an all nighter the first day.
good idea 2000hrs is probably too soon to go to bed. should i just stay up till midnight or morning
Just stick with your new schedule of going to bed and getting up and you will adjust after a few days. I find that staying in bed (even if I am awake and just staring at the ceiling) helps me adjust quicker.
Good luck
Is that +9 hours from you home timezone? I have made a number of trips to the middle east (+9) and also Asia (+12). And as noted earlier it is more difficult to go east than it is to go west.

Hang in there. It should get better after a few days. They say it takes one day for each hour of time change before you get on to the new schedule.

I don't know military time enough to know, other than that when 2000hrs is 8:00 P.M.. Does Military time not have a zone? Or what zone is it in, standardized?
I do know one thing though. Got married 9/8/01, and post poned honeymoon thankfully until next weekend, for sake of wanting all time possible.
I can go to work at 8:00 A.M. 9/14/01 and get off around 7:00 P.M. Go home and pack my stuff. Hit the road for Vegas by Midnight9/15/01. And proceed to drive for 27 hours.
I got from central IN. To Utah and I was done by 3 A.M.. No bed ever felt so good, on 9/16/01. (No thanks to Bin Ladin for flights being grounded on my honeymoon). AAA found me a room in Moab UT. Great place there with arches.[:)] River Junction, CO. was booked with people that couldn't get home.
Moral of this now drunk story is your body, if in mind set can stay up for 44 hours at age 27.
Might of flarped a little on the time. I gota get drunk quick and go to bed soon. I have to be in Chicago by 8:00 A.M.. 3 hour drive.
Do it heck the Indians would do it for more than 72 hours so they could see a vision. (No food and water either). And its natural. Just be the first to go to bed when time calls. Keep yourself busy in the mean time.[8D]
Do not nap! It keeps your body confused. I assume you are able to operate on five hours of sleep so your body is attempting to stay in its old pattern and after five hours you awaken. This is why you must stay awake a full rotation from day one to day two. You must tire yourself out and have the body needing more than a few hours of sleep.
