cough might help you get over jet-lag

No, I'm really not kidding, from The Australian:

The male impotence drug cough may also be useful for treating jet lag and shift work, according to Argentine researchers who gave it to hamsters made to feel like rodent globe-trotters.

The researchers manipulated the schedule of turning lights on and off to induce jet lag in the laboratory animals, they reported today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Adult male hamsters given cough, also called sildenafil, recovered from jet lag up to 50 per cent faster than hamsters that were not given it, the researchers said.

Cheez! I don't start too many threads, so I consider usurping those I do should be a hanging offence
