I really like time shifter but honestly the following has worked better for me:
Fast for ~16 hours prior to 7am in my new time-zone.
Take melatonin, usually ~10pm in my new timezone and again if I wake up and stop feeling sleepy before around 5am in my new timezone. (I have no idea if this second dosing is optimal but it seems to work).
I highly recommend getting a good neck pillow, earplugs, and eye mask if you travel often or on long trips (e.g. if you are Australian and go overseas almost anywhere).
Thanks to Chris Watkins for suggesting the fasting routine.
Glad that fasting works for you! I have tried it a couple of times and have found myself too hungry or uncomfortable to sleep at the times I need to (eg, a nap in the middle of the flight).
Great points on equipment; I think they are necessary and think that the bulk of a good neck pillow in carry on luggage is justified because I can’t sleep without it. I also have some comically ugly and oversized sunglasses that fit over my regular glasses and block light from all sides.
