I fly from San Francisco To london at least twice a year. When I was younger I never got jet lag, now I am noticing that I am feeling it more and more. One thing I do that I think helps is when I get on the plane in San Francisco, even though it is still on the ground I turn my watch to London time, then I try and plan my eating and sleeping with the new time. My flight usually leaves around 1pm which means it’s 9pm in London, I stay awake for a few hrs then try and sleep (or in my case at least rest since sleeping on a plane is impossible for me). When we land around 7am I make sure to stay up all day and not lay down till at least 10pm. By that time I am usually very tired and able to sleep, if even for a few hrs. When I wake up I like to get up and try and get and get active, get out into the sun light (if i can find it in london). I usually find that helps me and within a day or so im pretty set on the new times. just my opinion.

Very helpful tips… as I am sitting here in the dark at 3:46 in the morning while my husband and cats are sound asleep. I just flew from Chennai to Toronto a few days ago. Never felt jetlag like this before. Will force myself to stay up until bedtime tomorrow, no matter what! Thanks for the advice.

To sleep better, I recommend 2 Temazapam, neck pillow, ear plugs and eye cover, plus Melatonin if you can get it. Got 7 hrs sleep yesterday coming from LA to Sydney, and I’m not a great sleeper.

Melatonin is good at destination at bedtime to help keep you asleep. I agree with what you’ve written too.

Completely agree with the “think positive” comments. I always find jet lag is easier to overcome if i want to be in the destination i have arrived in!

recently flew from middle east to chicago.
My top trick that works every time: set your watch to destination time the second you step foot on that plane. Live by that new time.

Thanks to that trick I’ve never had a day of jet lag in my life.

i recently travelled from brisbane to san francisco. I’m one of those people who is lucky to get half an hours sleep on the plane, no matter what i try. But after 30+ hours without sleep, i crashed for 12 hours at 9pm, and voila- no jet lag!
