Long haul fatigue

With several new corporate aircraft capable of flying for in excess of 12 hour sectors, how do you ensure that you are sharp and alert for the critical approach and landing phase at the end of the mission?
Typically on our operation this will be in the early morning after an over night flight. Circadian rhythm totally trashed, but that is not an excuse for other than a professionally completed sector.
