when your plane lands, FORCE yourself to convert to their hours. i just got back from ireland and we left at 7 at night and when we arrive it was in the middle of the day, and we were forced to be in dublin and walk around, it was tough the first day but it helps your body get use to it very quickly.

Try to keep as much to the time of the place you are visiting and with a couple of days try to revert back to British time.

this may sound crazy, but shining a light on the back of your knee has been show to help reset the body's clock, which consequently helps to fool your body into thinking its the start of a new day.

It might be worth a try

dead easy ,,,,dont fly,go by boat

Try not to sleep unless it is nightime in your new location. Seriously, it will work. What's important is you get a hang of the time of wherever you already are. No matter how exhausted you are, try realllly hard not to take naps in the morning or afternoon. Sleep only during night. It will bring your body-clock back to normal.

Dont fly.

Sleep, sleep, and more sleep. Your body will re-adjust in due time.

Once you have it you're pretty much screwed until you get on the new time schedule. The trick is to avoid it. Start a few days before your trip getting up, eating and sleeping closer and closer to the local times of where you are going. On the final day do the exact times with no exceptions. Try not to drink alchohol or limit it, same with caffeine or anything else that would mess with your internal time clock. When you arrive jump into the local time and either sleep or stay awake accordingly. You may be a little tired or restless but if you've followed the above you won't be a mess.

Drink alcohol on the plane and afterwards take Nyquil...no but seriously

I often fly from Florida to Japan for business what I like to do is plan to arrive atleast a day early so that you have time to sleep and rest

going east: stay up all day
going west: sleep late

Your response to jet-lag is inversely proportionate to how many time zones you traverse. For instance, my usual destination is the east coast of the US to Southeast Asia; normally, a 12 hour time span. Depending on when you arrive, adjust your eating and sleeping habits before you travel. Don't take caffeine or stimulants while fling and do keep carbohydrates high. I'd pre-order the vegetarian meal as many times as possible and limit alcohol to a minimum.

If you arrive in the morning, do try to keep up during the day's activities until your normal bed time. Your recovery time would be shorter that way and have a hearty breakfast the following morning. If you arrive in the evening, either your prepared for dinner or hitting the sheets. This is one of many remedies.

try a massage, on a recent flight to sri lanka we could barely keep awake even though it was early afternoon local time. we went for a full body massage and it worked wonders

Start sleeping earlier or later according to the time zone of your destination a few days before travel. Once arrived, sleep according to the local time. Take some melatonin to help you adjust.

When you arrive at your destination, if it is daytime, get some sunlight and keep active. Go to bed at an appropriate bed time try past 6 pm if you can make it (if you are really jet lagged).

If you can't sleep when it is night at the destination, you may want to try something like a Tylenol pm to help put you too sleep.

Trust me, I travel long haul a lot and that is the best way to get over jet lag.

Its also easier to get over jet lag when travelling east to west.
