For at least a few days after arrival,that clock is going to be out of sync with local cycles.

Take extraeyeglasses or contacts and the prescription. Have some of yourmedication in small containers to be kept in your hand carry.

To avoid motion sickness, you may need to take motion sickness pill

before travelling. This is available at any pharmacy.
