best thing about it is that it's much easier on the eyes late at night imho
but afaik it doesn't work if you play anything that is not in windowed mode, not sure tho

Stick to it. I've been using it for a while, and it makes me feel tired when I want to go to bed, and help my eyes. Only problem is it doesn't work in fullscreen games... Also, change the lighting so that it doesn't change suddenly, it's best if it changes slowly because you won't notice it. It's much better than the gunnar eye wear in my opinion.

I didn't see the recommendation to make fists with your toes in this blog. I am disappointed.

Another thing to consider; flying dehydrates a person pretty badly. Remember to drink water. Also, consider picking up a nasal lavage. It'll help keep you nasal passages hydrated. That'll help fight off infection.

Good stuff, I usually just try to stay up as long as possible and wreck the schedule- to change it lol.

Edit: Basically what rekul is saying... if I were to have something like that in mind lol.

Perhaps this guide is better and more elaborate than how I do it, but basically I just don't sleep the first night and make my way to the next night. Might be standard? IDK. Makes for a rough first day but I wake up and I'm back to 100%.

Great advice. One of the best tips I've had had nothing to do with the circadian rhythm but something completely different. When you get really bad jet-lag the best thing to do is not eat for at least 6 hours, then eat at the next local meal time. Your body closely syncs with meal times and jolting that rhythm is much easier than sleep cycles. Travel frequently and it's been a big help

Ya know, I've never traveled across more than 4 time zones at once, but what you said was always going to be my game plan if/when I ever travel to somewhere in Europe/Asia.
