Arrival Strategy for Zurich

How to manage jetlag based on arrival time

Morning Arrival

Upon morning arrival, resist the urge to nap. Immediately expose yourself to natural sunlight and engage in light physical activity to help reset your internal clock and stay alert.

Afternoon Arrival

Afternoon arrivals should opt for a brief, 20-30 minute power nap if exhausted, but avoid deep sleep to prevent disrupting nighttime rest and adaptation.

Evening Arrival

For evening arrivals, minimize caffeine and screen time, prepare for an early bedtime, and create a dark, cool sleeping environment to facilitate immediate timezone adjustment.
