Hey folks, we are going to be traveling across many time zones as we head to Russia. Here are a couple of tips to start thinking about in order that we can keep jet lag to a minimum.
1) Start the journey well-rested. An extra couple of hours sleep for two or three days before our trip will be a great investment. We will make sure that we are getting good amounts of sleep during orientation!
2) Set your watch ahead to the current time zone for Russia (11 hours ahead). The fact that you start thinking it is that time helps your mind and body to adjust.
3) Avoid drinking caffeine during the flight.
4) On night flights, try to sleep as much as possible. On flights that arrive late at night, try to stay awake so that you will be tired and then sleep when you arrive, during Russia's nighttime. I believe we arrive to Russia in the evening. So by time we get to our hotel, it should be bedtime.
5) When we arrive, try to conform with the local times as much as possible.
6) For the first couple days after traveling, eat lost of proteins for breakfast and lunch, and carbohydrates for dinner.

That's a great idea...set your watch 11 hours ahead. So, either you will start thinking about the 11 hour difference, or you will be consistently 1 hour early for everything. Either way...
