Start going to bed later if traveling west; start going to bed earlier if traveling east. At least 4 days before the departure, shift your eating and sleeping times to coincide with your destination time zone. Don't try to stay up all night before you travel; this is risky because you may not be able to sleep on the plane. Spend some time in the sunlight, upon arrival at the destination. Smelling rosemary can help keep you alert and awake. Smelling lavender can relax you and ease you into sleeping. Take melatonin for the few days upon arrival. Cherries can be a good source. Avoid taking sleeping pills as they can cause a state of comatose which can cause blood clot over time.

KEEP CALM Keep calm; stress can make jet lag worse. Plan a stopover so that you can gradually adjust to the new time zone. If you will be sleeping on the plan, avoid disruptive seats in the back.

To help sleep, try using earplugs, a sleeping mask, and/or a supportive neck pillow. Smelling lavender can relax you and ease you into sleeping. Avoid drinking caffeine and alcohol on the plane, opt for water instead. Avoid chocolates as it contains caffeine too. Keep moisturizing lotion and lip balm on hand while traveling. If you need to sleep, do not watch a movie, look at your iPad, or work on a laptop. The blue-spectrum light will delay sleep and disrupt your body's clock.
