Jet Lag Hacks: How to Reset Your Sleep When Traveling

Crossing time zones? Use these evidence-based tips—and virtual medication consults—to beat jet lag before it hits.

Jet lag happens when your body clock falls out of sync with a new time zone, leading to fatigue, insomnia, and digestive issues. It’s most noticeable when traveling east across 3+ time zones.

HLTHi providers offer sleep strategies and, when appropriate, prescribe short-term sleep aids or melatonin to ease the transition.

Jet lag tips include:

  • Start adjusting your sleep time a few days before departure
  • Use melatonin or sleep meds based on your flight timing
  • Get morning sunlight exposure at your destination
  • Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and heavy meals during travel
