What is the best way to get over 7 hour jet lag without wasting any hours?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Light exposure: There are many, many approaches to jet lag, however the approach that i think has the best evidence basis involves using light and dark exposure to shift your body's internal clock to the new time zone. British airways has a decent one on their website. For added effect you might try taking melatonin in the evening.
