Arrival Strategy for Melbourne How to manage jetlag based on arrival time
Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to sunlight and engage in light physical activity to reset your internal clock. Avoid heavy meals and stay hydrated.
Afternoon arrivals should aim to stay awake until local evening, using strategic caffeine and brief outdoor walks to maintain alertness without overtaxing your system.
For evening arrivals, prioritize immediate sleep adaptation by minimizing screen time, creating a dark sleeping environment, and using melatonin if recommended by a healthcare professional.
