How to Recover from Jetlag
Taken from various sources
12. Don't make important decisions first day: I think this CDC tip is meant for those who suffer extreme jet lag but if you're flying in for a business meeting and know you won't be super-sharp, consider arriving a day ahead of time.
13. Synch up with local time: If you arrive at your destination at 9 a.m., don't go to bed. Get into the rhythms of the city and stick with it. If you must nap, lie down for no more than 20 minutes or so, otherwise you may have trouble sleeping at night. A friend of mine who travels to the UK all the time tells me, "No! No afternoon naps. Walk around the city, stop for coffee, go for a hike and stay up at least until 9 p.m. local time."
14. Get some sun: According to the Sleep Foundation, daylight is "a powerful stimulant for regulating the biological clock." Staying indoors, they add, will only worsen jet lag.
15. Wild card tip: According to an Australia-based travel blogger, you can get rid of jet lag quickly by putting your bare feet on the ground (or the grass or the sand). Apparently, you just wiggle your toes around for a while. I can't vouch for this, but probably couldn't hurt and probably feels great.
