Arrival Strategy for Mumbai

How to manage jetlag based on arrival time

Morning Arrival

Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to sunlight and stay active. Consider a light breakfast to reset your internal clock and avoid heavy meals that might induce sleep.

Afternoon Arrival

Afternoon arrivals should minimize napping and instead engage in light activities. Stay hydrated and use strategic caffeine to maintain alertness through the initial adjustment period.

Evening Arrival

Evening arrivals should aim for a normal, light dinner and attempt to sleep according to local time, using minimal artificial light to encourage natural sleep adaptation.
