How to Gradually Adjust Your Sleep Pattern to Avoid Jet Lag #Infographic

Most research shows that it takes about one day to adjust for every time zone you cross. So if you cross three time zones, expect to feel a bit out of sorts sleep-wise for about three days. This is especially true when flying west to east; the effects will likely be somewhat minimized (expect the adjustment to be cut in half) if you travel east to west.

There is a way to combat this, though — and it doesn’t involve sleep aids, drugs, or drinking too much wine with dinner.

You can “trick” your body into getting great sleep in your new destination by changing your sleep-wake patterns before you even arrive. Take a look at the infographic to figure out how and when to shift your bed and wake times.
