Jet lag is a common challenge associated with ultra-long-haul flights, but with proactive measures, its effects can be minimized. Begin adjusting your sleep schedule a few days before departure, gradually aligning it with your destination's time zone. Upon arrival, try to stay awake until the local bedtime to help reset your internal clock. Exposure to natural light during the day can aid in adjusting your circadian rhythm. Consider using melatonin supplements to regulate sleep patterns, but consult a healthcare professional first. By taking these steps, you can ease the transition and maximize your energy levels for the adventures ahead.
