Arrival Strategy for Reykjavik

How to manage jetlag based on arrival time

Morning Arrival

Upon morning arrival, immediately engage with natural light and stay active. Consider a light walk or outdoor activity to help reset your internal clock and combat early arrival fatigue.

Afternoon Arrival

Afternoon arrivals should strategically time a short 20-30 minute nap to refresh without disrupting nighttime sleep, followed by mild outdoor exposure to reinforce wakefulness.

Evening Arrival

For evening arrivals, minimize bright screens, stick to a consistent sleep schedule, and use blackout curtains to manage Iceland's extended daylight and support immediate sleep adaptation.
