Mike出差刚回来，被时差折磨得痛苦不堪，向同事Larry咨询缓解时差的好办法。Larry说，
Larry:Somepeopletakeherbalmedicine,butthere'sreallynosolidproofthatitworks.Somepeopletakesleepingpillsandtrytosleepforthewholeflight.
M:Iguesseachpersonhastotryandfindthesolutionthatworksbestforthem.

M:Oh,yeahLikewhat
L:Foronedon'tdrinkalcoholonflights.Itdehydratesyouandonlymakesjetlagworse.
M:Oh,IusuallyhaveafewdrinkswhenIfly.MaybeI'llsticktowaternexttime.
Larry说，为了缓解时差，有人吃中药，有人吃安眠药，上飞机就睡，这些做法因人而异。不过，也有一些普遍适用的原则，其中之一就是不能喝酒，因为酒精会让人dehydrate，脱水，从而加剧时差症状，最好是sticktowater，只喝白水。
L:Waterisbestbecauseyoureallyneedtostayhydrated,especiallywhenyou'rebreathingthedryairinanairplane.

既然人体的生物钟受到日光照射的影响，那早上出去走走，一定有帮助，让日光重新设定身体的节律。Larry表示赞成，因为出去走走，运动一下也一定没坏处，theexercisecan'thurteither.
