Any tricks for surviving jet lag? Jet lag hits me like a truck every time, and I can’t seem to shake it. It’s worst when I travel between continents for work, and adjusting back home is just as bad. Anyone have tips for beating jet lag or at least softening the blow?

I just don't sleep if I land in the day so that I can sleep on time at night in the time zone I am in. And that's how my next day is fine. If I land at night , I would try to sleep to adjust with their night time whereas it would have been the day where I am coming from.
