Arrival Strategy for Seoul

How to manage jetlag based on arrival time

Morning Arrival

Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to natural sunlight and engage in light physical activity. Avoid long naps and stay hydrated to help reset your circadian rhythm.

Afternoon Arrival

Afternoon arrivals should aim for a short 20-30 minute power nap if exhausted, but not longer. Engage in gentle walking and outdoor activities to help adjust to local time.

Evening Arrival

Evening arrivals should minimize bright screen exposure, eat a light meal, and prepare for an early bedtime aligned with local night schedule to quickly synchronize with Korean time.
