While it’s difficult to adjust to a new time zone, a little prep work can make the transition easier.

The American Academy of Family Physicians advises:

• Make sure you are well rested before leaving.
• Avoid drinking alcohol.
• Stick to well-balanced, healthy meals, and avoid overeating.
• Get regular exercise.
• If you use medication to help you sleep, use it for as short a period as possible.
• Go to sleep and wake up based on the new time zone as quickly as possible.
