Have a quickie planned. And over 7 days lose 2 flying. Any tips on recovery and being able to land and enjoy rather than stress and sleep and lose a day. Getting back don't much care.

Just jumped off a 14hr flight from Doha this evening. Slept about 1hr during and will crash here at about 11pm and wake up 8am sharp.
What to watch out for is in about three days time you might wake up at 2am and not be able to get back to sleep.
Haha i've already cooked it.. just slept for 15 hours straight.

Go buy over the counter nasal spray. The ones you can only do for a few days.I have to fly tonight with a really bad sinus/head cold and blocked ears. Now paranoid my eardrum is gonna burst because I always have ear pain when flying and I'm really congested. Just did the valsalva maneuver (popped my Ears) and it made me dizzy and head spin for like 30 seconds.
Anyone dealt with this before? It's a 2 hour flight so hoping I can just get through it.
The worst is coming back from Europe I've found for the first few days. At one point you'll randomly crash and sleep for like 15 hours and wake up in the middle of the day, then you'll have a night where your mind is buzzing at like 3 or 4am and you feel like you could run a marathon or solve a rubics cube at that point.

I took Sudafed, an antihistamine, Otrivin Spray and Nasonex spray through the day haha.Have had this twice and it's one of the most excruciating pains i've had, believe it's called ear barotrauma. I flew home sick with a cold this week and was terrified of this occurring but was able to pick up some pseudoephedrine in Europe which did the trick. Hope it all worked out for you.
I'm the opposite to pretty much everyone here. Get your arrival flight to land no later than lunch time. Gives you minimum 4-6 hours to go out, get a coffee or two, do a bit of sightseeing, get dinner and be absolutely knackered by the time you crawl into bed at 8pm. You're not going to wake up till the morning with that in mind
