Tips To Beat Jet Lag
Tips To Beat Jet Lag
Do you dread long-haul flights because of the dreaded jet lag? You’re not alone. Jet lag is feeling out of sync with your new surroundings. It can cause you to feel tired and groggy when you need to be alert and energetic.
But there is good news. There are ways to beat jet lag. With some planning and common sense, you can arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world.
Here are some easy tips to help you beat jet lag:
1. Get plenty of rest before your flight

This may seem like an obvious one, but it’s worth repeating. If you’re well-rested before you even get on the plane, you’ll be in a better position to deal with any fatigue that comes from travel. And try to rest on the plane, especially if it is long. Coming prepared to be comfortable goes a long way.
2. Drink plenty of water
Staying hydrated is key to feeling your best, no matter what. But it’s essential when you’re dealing with jet lag. Drinking plenty of water will help to keep your energy levels up and fight off any headaches or other symptoms of dehydration. Supplement with electrolytes, especially if you have trouble drinking water.
3. Avoid alcohol and caffeine

It may be tempting to reach for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine to help you relax on the plane. But alcohol and caffeine can make jet lag worse. They’re both diuretics, which means they can cause dehydration. And they can also disrupt your sleep, which is the last thing you need when trying to beat jet lag.
4. Get up and move around
Sitting in a cramped seat for hours on end is not only uncomfortable, but it can also make jet lag worse. If you are not sleeping, get up and move around whenever possible. Take a walk up and down the aisle, or do some simple stretching exercises in your seat. Just getting your body moving will help to fight fatigue.
5. Adjust to the new time zone as soon as possible

As soon as you arrive at your destination, adjust to the new time zone. If it’s daytime where you are, force yourself to stay awake. If it’s nighttime, try to sleep. It may be hard at first, but it will help your body to adjust more quickly.
6. Avoid napping
It may be tempting to take a nap when you’re feeling jet-lagged. But napping can make jet lag worse. It’s best to push through the fatigue and stay awake until it’s nighttime in your new time zone. Then you can go to bed and get a good night’s sleep.
7. Eat light meals

Heavy meals can make you feel sluggish, so it’s best to stick to light meals when trying to beat jet lag. Opt for fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Avoid processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive amounts of caffeine.
8. Get some sun
Exposure to sunlight can help to reset your body’s internal clock. So, as soon as you arrive at your destination, get outside and enjoy some time in the sun. 30 minutes of sunshine daily is recommended to achieve maximum vitamin D absorption.
9. Take it easy
Don’t try to do too much when you first arrive. It’s important to give your body time to adjust to the new time zone. So, take it easy for the first few days. Avoid strenuous activity and stressful situations. Just relax and let your body adjust at its own pace.
10. Be patient
Adjusting to a new time zone can take time, and many more factors play a role than the things listed here.. So, be patient and don’t expect to feel 100% normal immediately. It may take a few days, or even a week, for your body to adjust fully. But eventually, you will feel better, and the jet lag will fade away.
