  • Start shifting your sleep-wake cycle to match that of your destination several days before departure, changing at the rate of one hour per day.
  • Step 2

    Begin adjusting to the time zone of your destination by resetting your watch at the beginning of your flight.

  • Step 3

    Sleep on the plane when it is nighttime at your destination. Earplugs, headphones and eye masks can help diminish noise and light.

  • Step 4

    Stay awake on the plane when it is daytime at your destination. Read a thriller with the light on and the window shade open, or cruise the aisles.

  • Step 5

    Drink plenty of water. The air on planes is extremely dry, and dehydration can worsen the effects of jet lag.

  • Step 6

    Avoid alcohol and caffeine while flying. They increase dehydration.

  • Step 7

    Exercise as much as you can on the flight during waking hours: stretch, walk down the aisles and do leg lifts (see “eHow to Exercise on a Plane,” under Related eHows).
