When I fly to Europe on those evening flights, my preferred approach includes having dinner and a glass of wine and watching one movie (or reading) – awake for about 2 hours, then a Tylenol PM and try to sleep for the rest. Once landing, stay awake and alert until an early “normal” bedtime – say about 9-10pm. From there I am able to get on local time with no problem.
It’s a little harder coming back because the flights usually leave in the morning so it’s not as easy to fall asleep on the plane. But the same idea of getting back on local time as quickly as possible really does help!
