One additional method to consider is to fast for ~14-16 hrs before your first full meal at your destination (while staying well hydrated and eating light snacks such as fruit along the way). To find out more about our safe, easy and effective method, visit our website:

We would like to suggest a technique that does not require you to change your sleep and lighting schedule days in advance of your trip. By simply fasting for ~14 - 16 hours before your first full meal at your destination (while staying hydrated and eating light snacks such as fruit along the way) you can remedy jet lag much more easily. For more information about this technique and a calculator to help you figure out which full meal to eat before your departure and after your arrival, visit our website:

I find that the only thing that really helps me with jet lag is going with the time zone as soon as you get there. A few years ago I went on a trip to the UK, which is five hours ahead of my time zone. We went on a plane overnight, but I couldn't sleep on the plane. I was well and truly exhausted when we arrived. I slept for an hour, which was nice, and then had lunch at roughly the right time in UK time. I was quite tired at first, but then I went with my family to visit a really cool aquarium, went on the London Eye, and then out for dinner. You'd think I'd have been *exhausted*, but I had a great day and was barely tired. I slept normally that night (obviously going to bed a little bit early), and from there on I was almost perfectly adjusted to their time zone. Going home was the same - ate dinner at the right time, went to bed, and the next day was adjusted perfectly to our home time zone.
