A lot of people swear by melatonin but I've never tried that.

I'm one of them, and I'm currently taking some now
It has been very effective for me. I take 1 pill (1mg) before bedtime. It has done several things for me:
1/ Made falling asleep easier
2/ Let me sleep a full night
3/ Wake up and not feel groggy
Of course, you will still feel tired after a long flight, but you definitely lose the groggy, half-asleep feeling that jet lag normally produces.
It's pretty cheap and easy to find in the US, but it's not approved in France so you can't get it here. Don't know if it is like that elsewhere in Europe.
