I find I do best when I try to fit into the local time even if it means I wear myself out the first day. Getting to bed early evening after no nap tends to reset my clock when I get up the next day.
For example when we last went to the UK, we flew into London and then connected to Scotland, got a rental car and drove 1 1/2 hours north, checked into the hotel, checked out St Andrews (husband hit a bucket of balls) dinner and as the sunset went to bed. As exhausted as we were we slept like rocks and woke up with the dawn on the new clock.
This may not work for everyone but it works for us.
