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 2.5-hour time difference, expect approximately 2 days to fully adjust to the new timezone if you follow the recommended light exposure and sleep schedule.
