Tips To Fight Jet Lag

When you are on an airplane, you are often going long
distances. The distance plus the change in time when you
arrive might often lead you to what is most commonly known
as jet lag. This is your body's attempt to figure out what
has happened and to regulate how you feel, suddenly being
in another time zone and in another place.

There are several things that you can do to avoid and to
fight jet lag. First of all, as soon as you get on the
airplane, set your watch to the time that it is in the
destination to which you are flying. This way, your brain
will begin to be accustomed to the new time zone and will
be more likely to accept it when you land. Next, take
careful note of the time that it is where you are landing,
and do what you would be doing if you were there. For
instance, if you get on a flight in the afternoon where you
live, but you are going somewhere that is several hours
ahead of you, and therefore where it is currently bed time,
you should try to sleep on the plane. The sooner that you
can get into the mindset of the current time where you are
flying, the better off you will be. A lot of the jet lag
problems come from your own mind, so as much as you can
convince yourself that the time has changed before you
land, the better off you will be.

Next, you should stay hydrated on the flight and avoid
alcohol. As much rest as you can get on the flight is going
to help you greatly. After you have arrived, there are
several things that you can do to help yourself get over
jet lag as fast as possible.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that as soon as
you get to your destination, you should be on the
timetable. Try to ignore your own body for a few days.
Sleep when the clock says you should be sleeping and stay
awake if it isn't time to be asleep. You might be very
tired for a couple of days, but staying on the clock of the
place that you have arrived at is the best way to get over
jet lag and to be able to enjoy your holiday. Try to avoid
the temptation to sleep whenever you feel like it, and stay
on a schedule instead!
