How to avoid Jet Lag?
Jet lag occurs when the body cannot adjust to the time difference caused by long-distance trips made over relatively short times, and can arise primarily from travel to destinations with time zone differences of six hours or more. Common symptoms include drowsiness, fatigue, and loss of appetite. To avoid jet lag, go to sleep earlier than usual if flying to the east, and go to sleep later than usual if flying to the west on the night prior to travel. Don’t depart exhausted or hung-over then plan to “catch up on the plane.” Onboard, drink plenty of water instead of juice, coffee, or tea. Set your watch to the time you plan to reach your destination. Remove your shoes and get your feet up if you can. Use earplugs, a blindfold, a blanket and/or a neck rest.
