All good tips, but I have a few to add: (1) if possible, get lots of sunlight when you land. Be outside. (2) Eat when the local time suggests you should have a meal, not when you are hungry. This will attune your body to the local clock cycles quicker and (3) try Melatonin. It works great for me, but not my wife, so don't try it the first time on a trip. Use it before you go to bed on the first night away. It normally doesn't help you get to sleep, but it does help adjust your clock while you are sleeping. Others swear by passiflora (passion flower extract) instead. I pretty much do all of the tips in this article, and my additional tips and never get jetlag. I used to get it terribly, so I know these work.
