I don't use any special pills or torture by getting less sleep.

I try to sleep earlier or later depending on where I am going. I live in the U.S. When going to Europe or the UK, I try to sleep as early as possible in the days before the trip. When going to Australia, I try to get up as late as possible (and still not be late for work).

On trips to Europe, I try to sleep on the plane, using eye shades and noise cancelling headphones. I eat before the flight and skip the meal because it takes them too long to serve the meal. On arrival, I may nap for as long as 60 minutes, but not longer.
