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 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 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.
