Having relatives in so many different parts of the world, we travel a lot, and have to deal with jetlag quite often. What do I do to deal with it? Well........if I do what everyone tells me to and DON'T sleep, I begin to feel sick, dizzy, and not-so-well.....so for the first few days, I DO sleep. Not when my body demands sleep....I make it wait about 3 or 4 hours from the first 'sleepy attacks'...and everyday, I increase another 3-4 hours. It helps. If you sleep right when you feel like sleeping, the jetlag will stick around for weeks, but with this method, you're pretty much 'over it' in a few days. Its not much of a problem when we go to Europe and there's an 8 hour difference...but when we go to the Middle East/Asia.....the 12+ hour difference is overwhelming, and you do NEED to sleep for a few days after returning home, to help your body recover. Just be sure to adjust the time every few days.....but don't kill yourself by waiting 12 hours or so.
