How to recover from jet lag faster
Jet lag improves faster when you choose a direction and make light, sleep, and meals point the same way.
Section
Pick eastbound or westbound strategy
The first question is whether you need to move your body clock earlier or later. Once that is clear, the rest of the plan becomes much simpler.
- • Use light as the main lever
- • Do not fight the new zone with random sleep
- • Keep the first few days consistent
Section
Use the first 24 hours deliberately
The first day sets the tone. Small, deliberate timing moves usually beat aggressive resets that leave you more tired and less stable.
- • Small moves win
- • Meals and sleep should agree
- • The calculator helps you choose the direction
