Jet Lag: We Hate It Too. Here are some rules.

November 19, 2025

Travel is exciting: new places, new food, new content for your social media. But nothing kills the excitement faster than stepping off the plane feeling like your brain is still in your normal timezone.

Jet lag happens when your circadian rhythms suddenly get yanked into a new time zone without warning. We all know what it feels like, and trust us, we hate it too.

That’s why we built the Jet Lag Planner right into Arcashift. Because a real strategy doesn’t come from ChatGPT. Personalized timing for your trip and your rhythms? Now that actually works.

Since you’re here (and presumably tired), here are a few rules for future travel. 

1. Know Your Travel Goal

Are you trying to feel sharp the moment you land? Or do you want to minimize your adjustment because you need to be alert in your original time zone once you’re back?

Your strategy really depends on your goal, but most people don’t think about it when they’re trying to avoid jet lag.

2. Use Light—Your Body’s Biggest Reset Button

Light is the most powerful way to shift your internal clock. The right light at the right time can help you adjust 3–4x faster.

Morning light can shift your clock earlier; evening light can push it later. Which is why timing really is everything.

3. Time Your Sleep, Food, and Caffeine

Sleep, meals, naps, and caffeine are all signals your internal clock pays close attention to. When you eat, sleep, and caffeinate, you can either help your body adjust faster… or slow things down completely.

But here’s the catch: the “right” timing depends on everything—your departure city, your destination, the direction you’re flying, and even what your sleep has looked like over the past few days. 

A plan that works for L.A. → London is nothing like the one you’d need for New York → Tokyo.

That’s why the timing can’t be guessed, but it can be calculated.
