Hotels have started to address their travelers' jet lag by offering them some specialized amenities. The hotels offering these amenities are mostly upscale. The amenities include: 
A diet and exercise plan: The Sheraton chain is providing an excercise and nutrition plan this fall that was developed by Core Performance, a firm that trains top-level athletes. It is their believe that the body takes a toll when traveling, so like with an athletic event, you must train and prepare for it.
Light therapy: The Westin chain has been testing an anti-jet-lag room in its Wheeling, Illinois hotel, near Chicago O'Hare. The room will offer a soft blue light in the shower, which is designed to boost energy and a photo-therapy light on the desk. The room also offers a sound machine with soothing beach noises or rainfall sounds, a sleep TV channel with meditative programming and black-out curtains. The hotel does not allow for booking these rooms, they are given to customers that have flown at least two time zones away.
Special Pillows: The Conrad chain has started to give their customers a pillow menu that has been designed by sleeping experts. Guests can choose a pillow that best resembles their favorite at home.
