A multi-speaker YouTube discussion (uploaded by Jeffrey Jaime, CISSP) about managing sleep and jet lag when traveling. Early advice focuses on actively shifting sleep schedules in advance (planning up to 72 hours before departure) and on normalizing occasional brief night awakenings (waking once or twice or for under ~5 minutes is described as common and not necessarily problematic).

Questions this video answers

About 72 hours (three days) before departure.

Up to about two awakenings is considered normal; more than twice is implied to be problematic.

Being awake for under about five minutes is suggested as not concerning.

What are some of the big dial movers for you when it comes to managing things like sleep during travel or jet lag?
Well, first of all, you have to adjust your sleep schedule. So they're like, gradually shifting the sleep schedule before departure. It's such a pain. So that's the first thing that we figure out, like, where are you traveling to? And how can we adjust the sleep schedule 72 hours before departure?
So, I mean, I think one thing is also not to freak out just because you woke up in the middle of the night to pee. You know, it's sort of normal to wake up periodically throughout the night. We only think of it as problematic if it's like a really a lot of times, like more than twice. And also if you're up for more than, like, five minutes.
