[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ DESCRIPTION [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ The bottom line results you will get from this product are new ways to reduce jet lag and improve the productivity of your cross country business travel. USA cross country flights (with that five hour flight and three hour time zone shift) probably produce more jet lag for more people than any other route in the world (if you think about jet lag from a total world view!) There are over 400 non-stop flights crossing the country each day. In total, they produce more jet lag than any other route . . . and yet until now there has been no systematic way to help you reduce jet lag on these flights. You probably already have heard about certain cross country flights. . . including the infamous "red eye" late night flights from LA to NY. They are known for producing more than their fair share of jet lag for their passengers. You will see that they are some of the flights to avoid if you can. But which are the best flights? How do you reduce jet lag on these trips? The positive news you get in this report is that THERE ARE NEW SCIENTIFIC MEANS AVAILABLE TO REDUCE JET LAG AND THERE ARE CERTAIN FLIGHTS ON EACH ROUTE THAT REALLY WORK WELL IN AVOIDING JET LAG. THIS PRODUCT WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO FIND THEM! . . . AND IT WILL SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER EACH CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT TO REALLY CUT YOUR JET LAG. You will get a scientific, tested and systematic way to plan your trips and choose the best flights to reduce jet lag. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ INTRODUCTION [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ You are planning a trip from Los Angeles to New York (or any other west coast to east coast cities). What is the best flight to avoid jet lag and travel fatigue? Should you take a morning, afternoon or evening flight? How should you plan your meals to make the time change easier? When should you sleep? When should you be indoors or out in the sunlight? How do you choose a good flight and plan your activities for the trip back to Los Angeles? These and many other questions can be answered with this report and its accompanying flight database. It will help you reduce jet lag and travel fatigue on all your future cross country trips. The TimeZone software (available separately from the company) is the first and only Personal Computer 'No Jet Lag' software that uses the recent scientific results on jet lag published by Harvard Medical School. These new results show how carefully timed exposure to sunlight, room light and darkness can reset your body clock to any time zone desired. The TimeZone system also includes modernized meals plans based on the classic work originally done at Argonne National Labs. The TimeZone reports contain the first ever 'No Jet Lag' rating tables for flights. This report and database shows you how to choose the best flights by using rating tables for non-stop US cross-country flights. (A separate report shows you have to choose the best international non-stop flights to and from the USA). The TimeZone system has been extensively tested in practice. It meets the practical needs of business travelers who often find themselves dealing with the exhausting effects of jet lag during important business trips. Research shows that jet lag effects almost every body function and that IT TAKES UP TO ONE DAY FOR EACH TIME ZONE CROSSED TO FULLY RECOVER. For the three hour cross country time zone shift, that means three days of productivity losses if you don't try to reduce jet lag. Jet lag effects also tend to worsen as people get older. Jet lag causes reaction times to slow and intellectual ability to decrease. The time and productivity lost can be very significant for travelers - particularly those who must make critical business decisions during a trip and those who are working on very tight travel schedules. To use TimeZone PC software, the traveler simply enters the destinations and dates of travel for each leg of a trip. The software calculates the time zone changes (making adjustments for daylight saving times) and prepares a custom plan with the times for sunlight, room light and darkness plus the types and timing for meals for each day of the trip. The plan varies with the dates and destinations of the trip, the number of time zones crossed on each leg of the trip, the direction of travel, etc. The system includes a data base of time zones and daylight saving time for over four hundred major cities around the world. Other cities can be easily added if required. A one page plan summary can be easily carried with airline tickets for ready reference during each trip. The TimeZone software runs on IBM compatible personal computers. TimeZone works well for the traveler with a laptop or notebook computer. Easy updates can then be made to the recommended TimeZone plan as travel schedules change. The TimeZone reports give you a 'No Jet Lag Rating' for each available non-stop flight on a route. The top rated flights get a 10 rating. Those flights have the best schedules to help you reset your body clock to the time zone at your destination. They help you minimize any loss of sleep and they serve meals at best times to help you adjust. Simply choosing a top rated flight makes it easy for you to reset your body clock to the new time zone. The worst flights get a zero or minus rating. They tend to increase your jet lag and travel fatigue by keeping you up when you should be asleep, serving meals at the wrong times, and arriving too early or late in the day. The ratings take into account the time zone changes, the departure and arrival times, the travel times of each flight and the meal service times. As an example of the ratings for US cross country flights, the report rates nineteen daily non-stop flights between LAX (Los Angeles) and (JFK) New York. There are just two non-stop eastbound flights each day that get the top 10 rating and work best in avoiding jet lag and travel fatigue. Flights from LAX to JFK with lowest TimeZone ratings include the infamous "red- eye" night flights. For the international non-stops flights, there are also many big differences in the ratings. For example, flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Paris (CDG) have the biggest differences in ratings. The top flight on this route gets a 10 rating. One flight gets a minus 6. Of the nine daily non-stop eastbound flights between Tokyo (NRT) and Los Angeles (LAX), there are just 2 that get the top 10 rating. Three flights get low ratings of 5 or 6. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ CROSS COUNTRY REPORT SUMMARY [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ This product describes for the first time a systematic way to choose flights and reduce jet lag on US cross country trips. Using the report and database, you can plan your trip, compare the available flights and choose the best ones. The report and database contain a comprehensive analysis of Jet Lag on US cross country flights. The report describes a new TimeZone rating system to measure the Jet Lag potential of each flight. It reviews the specific flight schedules for all the over 400 non-stop flights across the country. It includes all the combinations of departure and destination cities on each coast that offer non-stop flights. One section of the report compares the nineteen daily Eastbound non-stop flights between Los Angeles (LAX) and New York (JFK). The report shows that there are just two non-stop Eastbound flights each day that work best in avoiding Jet Lag. The two ideal flights leave Los Angeles at 10.00 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. The other nineteen flights work less well and get lower ratings. This is because their departure or arrival times, or their meal service times, are too early or too late each day to be ideal for avoiding Jet Lag. Flights with very low ratings include the infamous "red-eye" flights. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ RECAP [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Jet Lag is a very common problem for airline travelers. It is of particular concern on business trips that often involve very tight schedules and important business decisions. Research shows that it takes up to one day for each time zone crossed for the average traveler to recover from Jet Lag. The Jet Lag problem occurs when your body clock needs to be reset to the new time zone at your destination. Your body clock regulates your daily sleep cycles and many other normal body functions. Systematically choosing the best flight and following the custom TimeZone plan for the trip gives you an effective new way to reduce Jet Lag. Your productivity will improve at your destination and you will adjust your body clock to the new time zone more quickly and easily. The TimeZone plans incorporate the latest discoveries on Jet Lag (including the recently proven scientific results on using sunlight, room light and darkness to reset your body clock to any time zone). The new science, the custom plans and the best flights for each trip make the system much more effective in reducing jet lag.
