Dealing with Jet Lag When Traveling Across US Time Zones

Flying from New York to Hawaii is a brutal time change. The first time I did it, I wasted a whole day sleeping through breakfast. Now, I have a system. As soon as I get on the plane, I switch my watch to the destination time. I try to sleep if it’s night there, or stay awake if it’s day. Hydration is key—airplanes are dehydrating, and dehydration makes jet lag worse. Also, get outside in the sun as soon as you land. Natural light resets your internal clock better than any nap. It takes a day or two, but if you power through, you won’t miss the good stuff.
