Crossing multiple time zones? Use these scientifically backed methods to reset your body clock quickly.
Beat the Time Zone Shift
Jet lag can ruin the first few days of a trip. Here is how to fight it effectively.
1. Shift Your Sleep Schedule Before You Leave
Start going to bed an hour earlier or later (depending on your destination) a few days before your flight.
2. Fast During the Flight
Studies suggest that fasting during the flight and eating a high-protein meal at the normal breakfast time of your destination can help reset your circadian rhythm.
3. Seek Sunlight
Light exposure is the most powerful tool to reset your internal clock. Get out in the sun as soon as you arrive during the daytime.
