I've even tried limiting and even cutting out alcohol on those short red eye flights.
I took 1 x 3mg melatonin on QF10 LHR - PER and had
zero jet lag, plus I did avail of the superb Qantas food and wine, it was astounding! Didn't nap on arrival and stayed up until 11 pm Western Australian time after a walk around the Botanical Gardens and a nice dinner. It being January, the sharp contrast of being whisked in just over 15 hours from cold, grey London to hot, sunny Perth felt very special.
