We recently returned from a trip to England and found the
Argonne National Laboratory recommendations for overcoming jet lag to be
extremely useful.  They are detailed in the book "Overcoming Jet Lag", by
C. F. Ehret, which is available in many large book stores.  Briefly, you
abstain from caffeine for 3 days, then take a large dose at the appropriate
time.  You also adjust your diet to a feast-fast routine during the 3 days
before the flight and have high protein breakfasts and lunches and high
carbohydrate suppers.

We had few effects of jet lag on the eastbound flight, and they lasted only
one day instead of the usual week.  On the westbound flight, we also proved the
worth of the diet, although we didn't stick to it as rigorously; our symptoms
were significantly lessened and of shorter duration.
