Why This Plan Works

Direction matters: Eastward travel is harder because your body naturally has a 24.2-hour rhythm, making it easier to delay than advance.

Light is key: Strategic light exposure at the right times can shift your circadian rhythm by 2-3 hours per day—far more powerful than any supplement.

Recovery timeline: Research shows ~1 day per timezone eastward, ~0.67 days westward. Your 17-hour difference = 17 days to full adjustment.
