Travel Insider: famtip of the day
When traveling over long distances that require time changes, jet lag can become a serious problem. The best way to deal with jet lag in such an instance is to sleep for two to three hours, then force yourself to wake up and go outside. Get something to eat or drink and maybe later, take a shower. By the time you are done with these tasks, it will typically be close enough to evening that you can go to sleep for a full night's sleep. By the time you wake up again, you will be jet lag-free and on the same time zone as everyone around you. This will prevent you from sleeping all day, or having trouble getting to sleep at night because of the time change. more +
