Jet Lag Tips for Chicago

Travel within North America spans 3–6 time zones. While milder than intercontinental jet lag, adjust your sleep schedule a day before departure — shift bedtime earlier for eastward travel, later for westward. Stay hydrated on the flight and avoid alcohol, which disrupts sleep quality.
