Your body will eventually adjust to its new time zone, but there are ways you can try to get yourself on a new schedule more quickly and reduce jet lag symptoms.
1. Adapt quickly to your new time zone
Eat meals and go to bed according to the time at your destination.
2. Try light
Getting outside in the sunshine can wake up your body and reduce the release of melatonin hormones that make you sleepy.
3. Drink a caffeinated beverage
Consuming caffeine won't cure jet lag, but it may be a tool to help you stay alert and focused during the daytime.
4. Try melatonin
Your body naturally makes melatonin to trigger sleepiness, but it's also available as a supplement.
5. Drink water
Proper hydration may help manage jet lag symptoms and travel fatigue.
