The US National Library of Medicine offers these suggestions to minimize jet lag:

Today’s Health Tips

* Stick to a good bedtime and sleep schedule before departing. Don’t miss out on sleep in an attempt to beat jet lag.

* Adjust your bedtime by a few hours before you leave, depending on which time zone to which you’ll be travelling.

* If you’re only travelling for a few days, don’t worry about adjusting to a new time zone.

* Don’t sleep on the flight, unless the flight includes your usual bedtime.

* Don’t consume alcohol or caffeine, but do drink plenty of fluids.

* Keep up with your exercise routine, just not too close to bedtime.
