Although it might seem as unlikely, there are methods used by the military, which will both get you on to sleep almost immediately during a flight and will thwart jet lag too.
The following two articles outline these two crucial methods below, which will enable you to combat the worst of international travel.
Fall Asleep On A Plane With No Jet Lag
How To Fall Asleep On A Plane In 120 Seconds
As a terrible insomniac, I find it hard to believe that any "strategy" can result in falling asleep in 120 seconds but I am game and this strategy is meant to work. In fact, this method is so good that U.S. fighter pilots used it in World War II. Firstly relax your face. Close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply, relaxing your face muscles, even your tongue, eyes and eyelids. Next, Drop our shoulders as low as they can, as if they were floating down your body. Breathe deeply. Now relax one side of your body. Make your entire arm go floppy, right down to your hand and fingers.
CIA Has A Secret Diet That Will Beat Jet Lag Which Really Works!
It's not what you will want to hear. Why is everything that's nice and makes you feel better, bad for you? For this jet-lag-beating diet, the premise is simple, avoid carbs, caffeine, alcohol, and basically everything but water when you fly. Even a little snack can ruin everything. In fact, you can go one step further by feasting and fasting a whole 3 days before your flight to beat jet lag. Apparently, it really works! Do you ever get the feeling that you're in "The Good Place*" that is actually "The Bad Place"? (*reference to the Netflix series).
Unfortunately, these methods, effective or not, do require a great deal of effort. I prefer to drink alcohol and dose off that way, but I do get jet lag (badly) and usually a thumping headache after my flights, so my easy method does not come recommended!
