If possible, try to start staying up a little later each night for thrreeish days before hand. About 15 minutes before you want to go to sleep, take melatonin. I advise a double dose. You can get it at any health-food/pharmacy/drugstore. It's a natural chemical that your brain produces during REM sleep and helps to regulate your sleep cycle. It also has many other added health benefits as Americans especially are notoriously sleep deprived. That will help your body make the adjustment and you can do the same as you switch yourself back.
