Choose an arrival time in the morning

The best way to deal with jet lag is to find a flight that takes you to your destination as early as possible and try to stay awake all day after arrival. This method will help you adapt to the new time zone and reset your circadian rhythm as soon as possible.

Drink water

Try to get some sleep on the plane. After you check into your hotel, resist the urge to take a nap and avoid caffeine and alcohol. Drink plenty of water, as jet lag is very dehydrating.

Morning workout

It's important to stick to your sleep schedule from the first day of travel and jet lag. To invigorate your body, do a short workout in the morning. Physical activity will help you feel better.
