Arrival Strategy for Bucharest How to manage jetlag based on arrival time
Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to natural sunlight and engage in light physical activity to reset your internal clock and combat early fatigue.
Afternoon arrivals should aim for a short, 20-30 minute nap to refresh without falling into deep sleep, then stay active until local evening time.
For evening arrivals, minimize bright screens, prepare for a full night's sleep, and consider light melatonin supplementation to align with local nighttime.
