That way your body clock has a few hours sleep at the time it is used to and you seem to get on track quicker that way. I did not find the problem so bad going the other way.
So next time you fly to Europe try it.You miss a few hours of your trip, but feel much better for the rest of it.

Actually, that is what I did do. Arrived, had lunch and took a nap for a few hours. Usually that works just fine for me but I think I had enough anxiety about the work and so on (meeting lots of new people and not speaking the language) that it played havoc with my sleep anyway, even though I was on a "normal" schedule for going to bed. But I feel better this evening so I am hoping that I'll sleep like a log and be fit as a fiddle tomorrow!

What language do they speak in Basel Leslie? I'm guessing by the name of the town they speak French. Or maybe French and German. I know the official languages of Switzerland are German, French and Italian. And don't they also have a language of their own which is also official? An Alpine language? I'm not sure what it is actually called but I think many people refer to it as "Swiss". Maybe I should google Switzerland and find out! 8) :D
Artiste:
Are there not 4 languages there still ?

I think so Artiste. German, French, Italian, and "Swiss" which (I think) is a language unique to some of the Alpine countries in Europe.
