Minimizing Jet Lag

Here are things I do to minimize my jet lag after a long flight.

Reset Your Internal Clock:  As soon as you board your flight, adjust your watch to the new time zone of your destination. This mental shift can help your body start adapting.

Try to sleep according to the local time at your destination. If it’s nighttime there, rest as much as you can during the flight.

Avoid oversleeping, as this can disrupt your adjustment process.

Hydrate and Move Around: Stay well-hydrated during the flight. Dehydration can worsen jet lag symptoms. Get up, stretch, and walk around the cabin periodically. Movement helps improve circulation and reduces the risk of blood clots.

Minimize Alcohol and Caffeine:  Avoid alcohol and caffeine during the flight. These substances can interfere with your sleep patterns and exacerbate jet lag.

Don’t consume heavy meals, especially close to bedtime. Lighter meals are easier on your digestive system.

Remember that everyone experiences jet lag differently, and it may take a few days for your body to fully adjust. Safe travels! 🌎✈️
