Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to natural sunlight and stay active. Avoid long naps and consume light, nutritious meals to help reset your internal clock.

Afternoon Arrival

Afternoon arrivals should engage in moderate physical activity and hydration. Consider a brief 20-30 minute nap if absolutely necessary, but avoid extended sleep.
