Light Exposure Timing

Get bright morning light upon arrival and avoid light in the evening to help advance your circadian rhythm.

Sleep Schedule

Gradually shift your sleep schedule toward Fiji's timezone starting 2-3 days before departure. For this large time difference, consider splitting the adjustment before and after your flight.

Why This Plan Works

Direction Matters: Eastward travel is harder on your body because you're trying to fall asleep earlier than your body wants to. It typically requires more time to adjust.

Light is Key: Properly timed light exposure is the most powerful tool for resetting your circadian rhythm. Morning light advances your clock, while evening light delays it.

Recovery Timeline: With a 19-hour time difference, expect approximately 16 days to fully adjust to the new timezone if you follow the recommended light exposure and sleep schedule.
