William Gibson Quotes

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

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

I refer to jet lag as 'jet-psychosis - there's an old saying that the spirit cannot move faster than a camel.

I'm always one time zone behind myself.

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

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

Typically, I'll wake up at 4:30 in the morning. It's just the continual jet lag residue, just weird sleeping hours.

It's not unusual for me to wake up in the middle of the night and not know where I am. I take sleep medication to deal with all the flights. But I find it helps to eat at the same time every day.

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.

When I go to the U.S., the flights are long, and they do affect the body clock, but they are worth it.

I was always getting run-down from jet lag and being in strange towns where I didn't speak the language or know what the food was like.

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 was 13 when I had my first bout of insomnia. My family was in Reykjavik, Iceland, for the summer, and day never really became night.

I've had insomnia since I was a little kid and I never sleep well. Sometimes I sleep very badly and sometimes I sleep slightly badly. I get it especially when I'm on tour because you cross a lot of time zones, and I'm not very adaptable.
