How tired will I be? I have business trips to Siberia (is that Asia or Europe), north Africa, Mexico, Europe, and South America all in about 2-3 weeks this summer. I plan to start in Siberia and just start heading west.

Will I be 100% out of gas at the end?
How do people that so this kind of stuff do it?

Hotel exercise? Don't eat too heavy at the evening work dinners? Sleeping pills on the plane?

Different chick in every city.

Siberia is in Asia. This sounds like a trip with zero time to really take in the places you’re going, which is a shame. I hope you’re at least getting air miles.

That's going to be rough. The time zone changes are going to be really hard. Younare going to want to basically be exercising and sleeping anytime you are not on a plane or working. By exercising I mean anything to move around just so your body can get tired and adjusted.

Why so much? And cross crossing is nuts. Going to be hard to even enjoy. All business class flights at least? I hope you sleep well in those.

Do you need to bring an attorney with you for consulting purposes?

Vy'tamin V and Ambien. My neighbor who is an international sales manager travels a similar schedule like you just mentioned regularly, and the above is his diet during those times. This dude flew in from Tokyo to LAX, came to his condo, washed clothes, went back to LAX, flew to NYC, then to Europe the next day. I couldn't imagine doing that regularly. Hats off to you and him.

I did 4 continents in about 4 weeks last summer. Atlanta-based but had trips to London, Buenos Aires, New Delhi and Singapore in that time. All in business class which makes it much easier. I like going west better than east, and it’s easier for me to adjust to Asia than Europe. The short flight time overnight to Europe doesn’t allow for a good sleep inflight whereas 24hrs across 2 flights allows good sleep time.

Melatonin at bedtime every night in the new time zone helps. Don’t think about what time it was where you were or jet lag - the time is the local time Always!!

Get sleep when/where you can and roll with whatever comes up.
