So, I am flying from US West Coast to Europe tomorrow (+9 hour difference), and the Jet Lag Advisor tells me I need to delay my body clock. Ie. it wants me to go to bed LATER than I'd normally would for eastward travel. This makes no sense. Flying eastward (which is the worse direction), you need to advance your body clock, not delay it. It makes perfect sense to start going to bed earlier a few days before your trip, so maybe instead of Pacific Ttime you're more on East Coast time by the time your trip comes up. But later, as in moving towards Hawaii time? That's just making things worse. The advice has always been - go to bed earlier before flying east. Go to bed later before flying west.
What is your experience with the jet lag advisor? Am I missing something here? Did the jet lag advisor decide that delaying the clock by 15 hours is easier than advancing it by 9? That's technically possible, but that would need to be clearly spelled out, because as of now, the advisor goes against any other advice I've seen, or just plain old common sense of moving closer to your destination time rather than farther away.
+9 hours. Delay your body clock. Really? So I get to +12 hours before the trip?
