I always make sure I schedule my flights where I can get some exercise right before or after the flight. It gives me the energy I need to keep me on my A game.

I tried sleeping pills once... that was a terrible idea. I'd avoid sleeping pills that at all costs.

I've had the best luck with just forcing myself to go to bed and wake up at the times normal to the area -- no napping!! When you get up, try to find sunlight and reset your circadian rhythm.
