Hey pilots, how do you handle Jet lag? Looking for advice.

Hey pilots!

Quick question, how do you personally deal with Jet lag?

Do you typically stay awake, or is it better to force yourself to sleep ASAP?

Just curious. I have my first long flight in years and I’m looking to fight Jet lag myself, I thought I would ask those with the most experience.

Last time I had severe overseas jet lag in 2023, I was a mess.

I ended up trying to stay awake and couldn’t hang. Slept for 16 hours.
