Sleeping better after crossing time zones
Short answer: The body has to find a new rhythm. Darkness, a cool temperature and thin nightwear are the three things you control.
Temperature matters most on the first night
A cool room and thin nightwear help the body settle. See bamboo sleepwear.
Sleep in something that does not trap heat
Thick nightwear makes you wake up clammy at three in the morning. Thin bamboo fabric keeps the temperature even. See bamboo sleepwear for women.
Keep the rhythm by changing clothes
Changing into nightwear is a signal. It works even when the clock says something different from your body. See bamboo sleepwear for men.
