How-to Combat Jet Lag

Drink plenty of water during the days before you leave, and during the flight itself.

Don't caffeinate, especially at night.

Get plenty of sleep the week before you leave.

Sleep on the plane, if you can. If you're sensitive to light, an eye shade will help. If sound is the problem, pack ear plugs.

Try to schedule your arrival during the afternoon or early evening, so you're not faced with an entire day of activity.

Exercise helps combat fatigue. Set an exercise schedule for the week's before you leave, if you don't have one already.

Relax, and try not to think about it too much!
