You did everything that had to be done! You've booked your hotel, reserved your seat on the plane, packed your bags and you're ready to go. There's just one small problem left. The time difference!

Time difference New York Germany: The time difference between the Central European Time Zone and New York, EST 6 Eastern Time Zone or UTC 5 Central Time Zone, eastern time zone, is 6 hours or briefly 5 hours, depending on when the clock is changed. Which isn't a problem if you approach the time zones in the locations correctly. Here are a few tips on what you can do on your first evening in the city that never sleeps and how you can easily overcome the time difference.

Between the United States and Central Europe, the time difference between Germany and New York is 6 hours (5 in some periods of the year), which means that as soon as you arrive there will be sunlight, but you will not feel tired. Let me explain it another way: if it's 8pm in New York, NYC time, it's 2am your time, e.g. local time in Berlin. The rhythm of your body, from sleep cycles to eating times, are on the Berlin timetable. You have to adapt to the time difference. Don't make the mistake of going to sleep before 11 p.m. NY time. Many wake up at 3 a.m. New York time (after all, it's 9 in Berlin) and don't know what to do and are often extremely hungry. A torture, without wanting to talk further about the risk of how this can extend through the entire vacation. Of course everyone has different adjustment times, but I'll give you a few tips on what you can do to combat jet lag as quickly as possible.
