]]> 22503 2 32 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1531/32.jpg Eat healthy About four days before your trip, consume less fat, salt, caffeine, and sugar, and more fresh fruits and vegetables. Travelers on a typical American diet – protein-heavy breakfasts, high-carb dinners – tend to have a harder time sleeping at their destinations.

]]> 22504 3 49 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1531/49.jpg Go west If at all possible, try to fly west instead of east. It’s easier for the body to extend the day than to shorten it, so traveling west is easier to adjust to.

]]> 22505 4 60 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1531/60.jpg Set your watch Set your watch as soon as you board the plane for your destination’s time zone. Try to pretend that it is already that time and act accordingly—if it’s the middle of the night in your destination, try to fall asleep as soon as possible.

]]> 22506 5 74 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1531/74.jpg Dress comfortably Wear comfortable clothing on the plane. Tight clothing will reduce circulation and cause discomfort, interfering with your ability to sleep.

]]> 22507 6 84 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1531/84.jpg Don't consume caffeine or alcohol Don’t consume any caffeine or alcohol in flight. They’ll just dehydrate you and disrupt your sleep patterns. Drink lots of water instead.

]]> 22508 7 95 Tip Get up at least once every two hours to walk around. This will improve your circulation and reduce muscle stiffness.

]]> 22509 8 105 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1531/105.jpg Wear sunglasses Wear sunglasses during the last few hours of an overnight flight and for the first several hours after getting off the plane. Researchers have found that this helps people adjust their body clocks by altering their light patterns.

]]> 22510 9 119 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/1531/119.jpg Don’t nap Resist the urge to nap upon arrival. Instead, try to get some exercise and some exposure to sunlight to stave off sleep until your normal bedtime.
