How to Combat Jetlag Naturally?

If you can adjust your schedule before you go, it's a great way to beat jet lag, indeed just about the only way to beat jet lag. Our bodies didn't evolve flying at 500 mph and most people can really only adjust about one time zone per day. So if you can do some of that adjusting before you go, it's that much less when you get there.

It also helps to sleep as much on the plane as you can, which I realize may be a losing battle.

Well what I usually do is, if I arrive to my final destination in the morning then I take a sleeping pill during the long flight and sleep as much as I can so that when I arrive at the destination, I am not tired all day and have time to do stuff. If i arrive there at night, I usually force myself to stay awake in the airplane, drink a lot of water, and when I get to the destination I sleep in until like 1pm and I feel refreshed and good as new. I guess it is different with different people. I've had times where I would go to bed at 7pm and wake up at 5am or 6am and I would do that for about a week.

I just sleep through the entire flight and wake up feeling refreshed. Honestly, it's the best way to get around jetlag.
