Prepare in advance
Changing your sleep routine a few days prior to your flight, and according to the time zone difference, could significantly help with the adjustment process. Going to sleep a few hours later or earlier should help you to not feel less tired when you land and adjust back early into a normal routine on return.

Don’t over do it
When taking shorter trips it could be better to stick to a sleeping routine closer to the one you already have, as a drastic change could worsen the effects later on and prolong the effects of feeling jet lagged in general.
