Detailed explanation-1: -Science has an answer for this one, and that answer is yes, it is more difficult for a human body to travel east than west.
Detailed explanation-2: -Circadian rhythms are regulated by small nuclei in the middle of the brain. They are called the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN).
Detailed explanation-3: -Limit caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and some medicines, especially close to bedtime. Manage your exposure to light. Light is the strongest signal in the environment to help reset your sleep-wake cycle. You may need more sunlight during the day and less artificial light at night from TV screens and electronic devices.
Detailed explanation-4: -Red light has no effect on the circadian clock, so you can use a dim red light at night. Yellow and orange light have little effect on the clock so you can use a very dim yellow or orange light at night.
