We?ve been trying to work out what would be the best way to go sleep-wise. We have an hour, then we land in Pakistan, on to Bangkok for a 7-hour stop (with hotel) and then 13.5 hours on to Auckland. Might try to get a short nap in before we leave for the airport if everything?s under control here, just to freshen up, as we?re flying around midnight. Not much point nodding off if we?re landing in Pakistan soon after take-off. We have the use of an airport hotel room in Bangkok and don?t know whether to take advantage of that to try to get some quality sleep or to hold out for the natural night time. Somehow can?t see us managing to stay awake until then, no matter how hard we try. Unfortunately we?ve got 2 nights on the plane to contend with and both are in different time zones so it?s going to be very confusing. On second thoughts, seems easier just to sleep as much as we can throughout the flight (the token screaming child permitting ? there?s always one on board). Then, at least, we?ll have had SOME sleep.

We?ve also started taking a small dose of Aspirin (is this advertising? :icon_redface: ) to help with the DVT thing. Wondering whether to take some form of mild sleeping tablet as sleep time approaches, to help us to adjust to the new timings, but can?t make up my mind about that. Have asked the doc and various pharmacies, but they don?t have anything suitable in the way of jet lag remedies. Will try to get something in NZ (being so far away from everything they should be well equipped).
