drink water, sleep on the plane, and force yourself to stay awake during the normal hours you would when you get to your destination and sleep (or lay in the dark trying to) at the normal times you would sleep according to the time of where you are. this is especially important on the first day

Answer 2

i will purely talk from own adventure whilst traveling to the states and Australia I relatively have stumbled on the main suitable way is to not sleep very overdue the nighttime in the previous so which you're so drained which you immediately nod off on the plane and likewise sidestep alcohol as this could dehydrate you and will strengthen jet lag wish that's some form of help to you

Answer 3

I have a late night and go to bed at close to the time of my bedtime at my destination so that I am really tired.

Then I get on the plane have a big meal, a wine, a Melatonin tablet. The I pop on the eye mask and sleep like a baby so when I arrive at my destination I feel rested and ready for action.

I have tried this on countless flights and it has worked wonders.

Answer 4

Drink a lot of water. When the flight attendant comes around offering drinks... skip the sodas and ask for water instead. Your body dehydrates at such high altitudes and causes excessive sleepiness and spent energy. Ever notice how many people get up to use the lavatory during flight? It's because liquids are passing through them so quickly.

Answer 5

Switch your watch to the time of arrival destination and trick your brain into thinking its the real time. Works a treat, I never get jet lag.

Answer 6

The best way to avoid jet lag, is to get your body acclumated to the time-zone to where you're traveling before your flight.

Answer 7

Wen flying to LA, I found that by setting my watch to US time from the start of the flight was a big help. And being a shiftworker for 17 years seemed to help in being up for such a long period.

Answer 8

drink lots of water and go to sleep and wake up at the same hours as wherever you are. it will be tough- but just try to last the first day you get there, and when you get home. avoid alcohol (and caffeine). Take a multi-vitamin to keep healthy and energy up (Airborne is a great thing to take as well).

Answer 9

sleep on the plane if possible.... I guess this depends on how far you are flying, but I flew between Los Angeles and New York and I took a red-eye so that I could sleep on the plane.

Answer 10

drink lots of water to avoid dehydration.

plus, only go to bed at the appropriate time of the place you are travelling to (ie. if you arrive and it is 1.00 in the afternoon, dont go to bed until 10 or so that night - even if you are really tired cause your body thinks its one in the morning or something because of the time zone you have flown from).
