The Traveling Professor has learned a few methods over the years for getting the ol' body clock in sync with local time.
Here are his tips to conquer jet lag:
Don't Struggle to Sleep on an Overnight Flight: Most transcontinental flight are overnight in very uncomfortable planes. For many people, the more they try to sleep, the more difficult it is. Just relax, read a book, watch a movie and I'll bet you will doze off for at least a couple of hours.
Power Through Your First Day: The key to defeating jet lag is to get on local time as quickly as possible. That means if you have lunch at 1 pm regularly in at home in Pittsburgh, have lunch at 1 pm in Paris. If you go to bed at 9:30 pm at home in Denver, go to bed at 930 pm in Dublin. Do not go to sleep or take a nap upon arrival.
Re-Set Your Watch: Upon arrival, put your watch on local time and don't check what time it is at home.
