Travel North - South or South - North. Travel by car/train/boat.

Just 'google' and you'll find this question has been discussed a
zillion times before on the travel groups...

Force your self to get and stay on the local time /sleep schedule
immediately.

What is the best remedy for Jet-Lag?

What works for me is:

On long flights I take along three 16/20 oz bottles of water. They
never seem to have provide enough fluids on longer flights. Keeping
hydrated - particularly in the dry air of the plane cabin - seems to
help in dealing with jet lag.

Avoid alcohol and foods high in sugar. Go with the carbs.

After arrival, leave your room after check-in so you're not tempted
to take a nap. Try to stay awake until night time.

And if you can sleep at all on your flight, you will be doing yourself
a favor. Although that is something I have never been able to master.

That's the one that works for me. On arrival day, I make sure I stay outside
(just trying to stay awake but in the hotel or someone's house doesn't work;
too much temptation for a nap) until after the evening meal. Presto, no jet
lag.

That's my method as well. I've tried other things such as naps on
arrival or time shifting before I leave. But the quickest method
I've found is to stay up as late as possible that first day. "Presto"
might be a bit strong, but it does minimize the problem alot. I might also
add that I find some extensive walking during the day not only helps
me stay away, but the exercise I think helps with the jet lag.
Several world travelers I've read mention some sort of aerobic exercise
after arrival to help fend off the symptoms. And yeah, any sleep you
can get on the airplane won't hurt.
