Aloha. Thank you for your insightful content. I have traveled for years, crossed many time zones AND I am also in sleep medicine 13 years plus. Please be careful in stating that melatonin is natural. Its is NOT natural. It is produced by the body. It is a drug. Over the many years Ive been in sleep medicine, I REFUSE to take the pill myself. There is always side effects. It affects the stages of sleep, as I see this all the time. As well as I DO NOT recommend drinking alcohol to fall asleep. You fall asleep quickly but then have fragmented sleep, causing you to wake several times, as well as you decrease your needed stages of sleep. This results in a more groggy state when you land at the destination. In fact, you loose your REM/dream state when you drink alcohol. My biggest recommendation is carrying a light therapy box of 10K Lux light. When you wake, turn it on. I use it when Im at home especially. This sets your circadian clock. Of course many videos can give you more information on it. As you boys travel a lot, you should carry one and use it often. Traveling like you do will complicate your sleep and this light therapy box will help immensely even for weight gain, bloating, fatigue, preventative hypertension. list goes on. Hope this helps. and I hope you check your blood pressure often with all that traveling. :)

Unfortunately I am old and severely handicapped. I cannot travel any more. I used to travel a lot when I was young. As a German I was lucky to have six weeks of paid annual leave. I have usually taken four weeks of my leave for a three week vacation/holidays. I have booked my departure on Tuesday/Wednesday although I have had the last working day on Friday and was off-duty by 1PM. For travel to the States I have started to party hard the German way on Friday, from 11PM to Saturday 5AM. Then I have slept until 1PM on Saturday and have again partied hard to get used to sleep from 5AM German time to 1PM German time which is 11PM to 7AM US East Coast time. For travel to Asia I have immediately started to heavily drink at home on Friday at 2PM until I have fallen asleep completely drunken at about 8PM. The next day I have started to drink by 9AM and have slept from 5PM to 1AM. In this way I could easily adjust my body to the time which was applied at my vacancy destination. After return to Germany on Wednesday/Thursday I still had enough time to adjust the jet lag in order to start working on the next Monday.

Great and accurate rules. To sum up the 'best' point. When you arrive to your destination, don't do math. Don't focus on, count, or even remember what time it is from your origin. Math creates jag lag. Your stomach will stay on its schedule, but there's nothing you can do about that. However, you can trick your mind into adapting quickly. When you land, that is the time, and the only time, period

When I went to China, I purposefully didn't sleep much the night before and then I got onto the night flight (which departed LA around 2am) and was able to sleep on the plane and woke up / arrived in Beijing around 7-8 am and was decently rested. Going to a gym and having a hard workout always helped me as well.

When I traveled to and from LA to China I used Brainwave program on my iPhone. It uses Binaural programs to allow your body to sleep or wake up and so I made sure that I would sleep or wake up according to the destination time zone. Worked like a charm - no jet lag and I was refreshed ready to see the sites.

I leave for Japan in just over a month. I've been trying to put myself in the mindset and keep an eye on the local clock for the last month. As time draws closer, I've been slowly adjusting my body clock by trying to stay up as late as I can. I like the water bottle tip. Thanks guys

I usually cant fall asleep on airplanes. After my flight from the US to Japan I slept for 14 hours and woke up at 4am. But that was close enough that I didnt feel much jet lag. On the way back home, I managed to fall asleep and it took me a week to recover.

I sometimes have doubts that I'm human. I have traveled the world for many years (Mom worked for British Airways, I worked for Pan Am, as did your Mom) and have never suffered from jet lag. I can also drink coffee last thing at night and fall right to sleep
