Jet-lag is a good friend of mine. I travel a lot, twenty plus hours a flight. (I go to Asia a lot) Here's somethings to do that I find helpful:

 

If you're going to be adjusting time at your destination, spend two days prior to flying to adjust your sleep time to the time at your destination. When I go to Philippines, for instance, I spend time here living as if I was on Philippine time. When I arrive it's much easier to get some sleep.

 

Sleep on the plane. Do your best to sleep on the plane.

 

When you arrive at wherever it is you're going, take your shoes and socks off and make fists with your toes on the carpet. Feels great.

 

When you arrive, if you have the time, get some sleep, but make sure you adjust to the time zone. If you arrive in the mid-afternoon sleeping like it's nighttime won't help equalize your internal clock.

 

I'm no expert but that's what's helped me. Try it. It might work for you.

I've just come back from a trip to the USA from UK and felt groggy the whole time I was there and am now groggy and can't sleep now that I'm home again. I don't see how I can be jet-lagged when I didn't adjust properly to American time in the first place but it seems to have happened! I therefore sympathise but can offer no advice!

hmm well i used to go to korea once every year, and i never really had a problem with this. a thing that helps though is make sure you reach your destination at night, so that when you arrive you can sleep right away and in the morning your fully awake and you really don't have a problem. Sleeping a few hours on the plane is good too.
