JET LEG

  • The most effective natural jet lag remedy is to force your body into its new routine. Avoid the temptation to lie down in the middle of the afternoon; instead, wait until proper time to sleep at night
  • Eat meals at set times regardless of whether you are hungry.
  • Get lots of sunlight
  • Avoid Chemicals: caffeine, sleep aids (Valium, Ambien, etc) can linger in your system and affect jet lag recovery well after the flight
  • You can begin your jet lag prevention before you even get off the plane. Set your watch to the time in your future destination, then do your best to sleep and eat based on the new time zone rather than the old
  • Get up, move around the plane to avoid lethargy, and avoid just snoozing through the flight during daytime hours at your future destination
  • One study by the British Journal of Sports Medicine proved that a 0.5 mg dose of melatonin, taken on the first day of your trip can help alleviate jet lag if proper amounts of sunlight are absorbed
  • The most accepted rule suggests that you should allow one full day to recover from jet lag for every time zone (hour gained) you traveled east
