Shift your light cues

Light is your fastest clock reset. Use it to match the time zone you are moving toward.

  • Get bright light in the new morning, even if it is brief.
  • Wear sunglasses later in the day if you are arriving early.
  • Keep lights low during the last hour before sleep.

Hydrate with intention

Air travel dries you out and makes fatigue feel stronger than it is.

  • Drink water at regular intervals and limit alcohol.
  • Choose mineral-rich fluids or add electrolytes.
  • Pair caffeine with a short walk instead of a second cup.

Wellness cue

Reset your clock with light and movement before you reach for sleep aids.

"A calm landing starts the day before you travel."
