Why This Plan Works

Direction matters: Westward travel is easier because it aligns with your body's natural tendency to delay sleep.

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 1-hour difference = 1 days to full adjustment.
