Arrival Strategy for Tokyo

How to manage jetlag based on arrival time

Morning Arrival

Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to natural sunlight and stay active. Consider a light breakfast and gentle exercise to reset your internal clock and combat early drowsiness.

Afternoon Arrival

Afternoon arrivals should strategically time a short 20-30 minute nap to prevent excessive fatigue without disrupting nighttime sleep patterns. Stay hydrated and walk around to maintain alertness.

Evening Arrival

Evening arrivals should minimize bright screens, have a light dinner, and prepare for an early bedtime. Use blackout curtains and aim to sleep according to local time to accelerate adjustment.
