Skip Short Naps After Westward Travel

During jet lag adjustment after westward travel, avoid taking a “quick” nap that can accidentally turn into a long sleep episode. Staying awake helps preserve sleep pressure for nighttime and makes it easier to shift your body clock and settle into local sleep on the new schedule.

The worst thing you can do is take a nap that was intended to last 20 minutes or an hour. I do this routinely.
