What Is the Best Jet Lag Plan?

The best jet lag plan depends on the number of time zones crossed. Traveling east usually requires sleeping earlier while traveling west means staying awake longer. Gradual schedule adjustments help the body adapt faster to the new destination.

Many travelers underestimate the impact of circadian rhythm disruption. By shifting bedtime 30–60 minutes per day before travel and managing light exposure after arrival, recovery can be significantly improved.
