Arrival Strategy for Chengdu How to manage jetlag based on arrival time
Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to natural sunlight and engage in light physical activity to reset your internal clock and combat early fatigue.
Afternoon arrivals should strategically time a short 20-30 minute nap to refresh without entering deep sleep, then seek outdoor exposure to regulate wakefulness.
Evening arrivals require minimal stimulation; proceed directly to your accommodation, limit screen time, and prepare for immediate sleep to synchronize with local time.
