Jamie Hince Quotes

I think a major element of jetlag is psychological. Nobody ever tells me what time it is at home.

Being able to walk out of the studio after a week of intense recording and jump into a cold sea and sit in a hot spring and soak for a few hours completely resets the whole system. Really refreshing. For me, it's all about stepping out of the ordinary. Even psychically.

I work really, really hard and it's challenging going through all of those time zones and having to be awake when you're supposed to be asleep. I literally fly more than a pilot.

When you arrive at your destination, pay absolutely no attention to the thing people call jetlag.

My sleep is very important, and I have to have at least eight hours every night in order to function properly the next day. Unfortunately, flying through several time zones makes me disorientated, and it takes several days to readjust.

Sometimes the challenge of beating the jet lag and getting a decent sleep can be as hard to solve as finding the right setup for the car!

I can't switch time zones any more. London is one of my favourite places, but I'm always so zonked that I can't appreciate it. It's like a six-inch sheet of glass between me and Charing Cross Road.

The jet lag really gets to me sometimes and I still haven't found a cure.

I think nothing's better than lots of water and a good night's sleep to rejuvenate yourself.

We travel so much, I never adjust to time zones any more.

We did 10 years of working and travelling constantly, and we were just knackered. I thought: 'I've got to take a break.' I felt like I was going mad. I decided to move to Cornwall.

Jet lag is tough, to be honest. For me, it's much easier to force yourself to stay awake.

Travelling doesn't stress me, since adequate 10-hour sleep post-travel is sufficient for me.

I always take a shower now before I go to bed. It's so important just to cleanse everything off.

A change of scenery can help everything.

Spending time in airports and planes is probably my least favourite part of being a tennis player.

I have played international games two days after travelling around the world. Your body clock is all over the place, and you are waking up at 4 AM. But once a game starts, then your adrenalin kicks in, and you seem to forget the tiredness.

As much as we adore what we do and we're eternally grateful, everyone needs a break sometimes. Everyone needs a few days just to breathe.

Around 1978, I got really, really sick of waking up in hotel rooms when I don't know where I am.

The thing that can get kind of annoying is, when you travel so much, how hectic it gets. I was being interviewed once - it was a phone interview - and they said, 'Where are you right now?' and I didn't know where I was.

The physical malaise we feel when we travel reflects a desynchronizing of all the clocks that reside in our tissues.
