What’s everyone’s strategy for managing sleep/fatigue and still having time to enjoy the layovers?
Also, you’ll notice the weight of a lot of the people that fly INTL a lot. Just because you get a dinner and breakfast at 9pm/ 3am body clock time, doesn’t mean you have to eat it!

What’s keeping you from brushing teeth on an airplane? Matter of fact I can’t even imagine not brushing my teeth before returning to the flight deck from the bunk.
