Any advice?
Hey Josh, sorry to be late with this tip, but maybe it will help for a later occasion. Yes, there is a way to reduce or prevent jet lag altogether. Jet lag is mainly between your ears, so there is really no need to use drugs like melatonin or gadgets like light visors and stuff. Check it out at nomore-jetlag.com

Make sure you correct your clock as soon as you get there, ie dont go to sleep till 9-10pm THEIR time (even if your nackered!). That way you should adjust pretty quick to their time zone.

The homeopathic remedy No Jet Lag works really well. I took it when I went half way around the world to India and it really minimized the disorientation I felt after the trip. It's pretty affordable, so worth trying.

I'll tell how to NOT not get jet lag. Get stupid drunk your whole first week at your destination. I did that on my last trip (11 hour time difference), and by the end of that week, i was so tired that I physically could not fall asleep and paranoia was setting in.
