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 to reset your circadian rhythm and combat early arrival fatigue.

Afternoon Arrival

Evening Arrival

For evening arrivals, minimize caffeine and alcohol, prepare for immediate sleep, and use blackout curtains to signal your body it's time to rest.
