Important to know about Jet Lags before your
Flight Trip
  • Jet lag is caused by switching to a different
    sleeping/waking schedule and different daylight
    hours. But it happens when crossing two or more
    time zones in a single flight. The more time
    zones you cross, the more likely you are to be
    sleepy and sluggish. If you are an older adult,
    jet lag may hit you harder and recovery may take
    longer. Now these days people have been flying
    across time zones is very common. But we should
    not forget that our body is not designed to
    travel long distances at high speeds. This result
    is called circadian rhythm disorder. And we
    call it jet lags.
  • We observe the people sitting around me and how
    devastating a time zone change can be. For
    frequent fliers and international travelers, jet
    lag is too familiar. Disturbed sleep, daytime
    fatigue, difficulty concentrating and
    functioning, and even stomach problems is very
    common.
  • Doing things correctly can be very useful for
    jet lag
  • Take a good nights sleep before your flight
    trip, and sleep as much as possible during your
    plane trip. Ignore time zones, movies and
    entertainment, and sleep whenever you can.
  • Change your watch when you get on the
    flight.This is psychological, but it helps you
    to get into the mind-set of what you will be
    doing in the place where you are going.
  • Eat Sensibly Some frequent fliers swear by jet
    lag diets--such as eating a heavy diet for a few
    days before travel. We do recommend not eating a
    high carb or fatty diet close to bedtime because
    that can be disruptive to sleep.
  • New scientific research suggests that fasting can
    help to overcome Jet Lag by resetting the bodys
    circadian rhythm. Not eating 24 or more hours
    prior to arriving at your destination contributes
    to feeling less tired once arrived.
