Thanks for the replies - am going to give it a go and see if it helps - I can live with the early mornings but the side effect is losing alertness and feeling very tired in meetings especially in mid afternoon when my body thinks it should be going to bed. It doesn't help that the meeting room we use is an old basketball court with dim lighting and little natural light. There are some great coffee shops though as a last resort.

I believe you can just walk into a US drugstore and buy it over the counter. Its not licensed in the UK though.
In reply to IanRUK:
> I did Italy > Portland OR for a meeting and I landed, gave a talk, and slept the nextday almost entirely. But I'd been at a wedding in Italy so was already shattered
I'm doing France > Portland so same deal with timezones - at least there's decent running trails at the other end
