2. Before you go, try to adjust to the new time. Sleep at those times, and have you breakfast when it’s breakfast at your destination (air hostesses will usually hold your meal for later if you ask) 3. Avoid caffeine. It will keep you up and increase jet lag. 4. Get sleep before you go. Avoid naps in the middle of the day when you get there. 5. Keep yourself active during the day and you will sleep better at night. A cup of warm milk may help. 6. Get up and stretch on the plane. Go to the bathroom, walk around while the seatbelt sign is off. If you’re traveling by car, bus, or train, get out at every stop to stretch your legs, arms, back, neck. 7. A good, interesting book can keep you awake. So can the TV or looking out the window, or navigating. 8. Set your watch to the destination time. You’ll help yourself think in those hours.
