No More Jet Lag Tips for Traveling Through Time Zones With the weather getting warmer, many of us will soon be boarding planes and heading to far off destinations. For those who have experienced traveling to a different time zone, you are probably familiar with the aftermath known as jet lag. The good news is we can help you reduce, if not get rid of these negative side effects. Read on to find out how. Our bodies operate via Circadian rhythms, which are nothing more than the 24-hour cycle of our biochemical, physiological, and behavioral processes. Traveling from one time zone to another disrupts these rhythms and confuses our internal clock. When this happens our bodies react in different ways. For most people, it starts with their sleep pattern. Unable to fall asleep or wake up at normal time, fatigue begins to set in. At that point, further symptoms can include disorientation, headaches, lightheadedness, dehydration, digestive issues, impaired coordination, and swollen hands and feet. Sounds great, huh? Help has arrived as we have compiled a list of tips that have been shown to reduce the affects of jet lag. Put them into practice and you'll see what we mean. Get your sleep Take care of yourself Drink plenty of water In addition, try to avoid drinking alcohol or anything with caffeine, as both will only increase dehydration. Relax on the plane Also, reset your watch to match the time at your destination. From this point forward do the best you can to adapt to your new time zone. If it's daytime there, stay awake. If it's nighttime, try to sleep. If you are someone who has trouble sleeping on planes, the purchase of a travel pillow, eye mask, and earplugs or noise-canceling earphones are worthy investments. Wearing comfortable clothing will also help. Eat lightly Exercise on the airplane Adapt on arrival Expose yourself to 15 minutes of sunlight (without sunglasses) as soon as possible upon arrival. The effect of sunlight on our circadian rhythms is dramatic. Going without it for a prolonged period of time while on the plane is bad enough, so make it a priority as soon as you arrive. We've given you our best advice. Follow it and you'll definitely notice an improvement in the jet lag department. One last tip–enjoy your vacation! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
