5 Steps to Ease Jet Lag

By Judith Mendoza

5 Steps To Ease Jet Lag

  1. Before You Leave: Begin to shift your routine towards the time zone you’ll be travelling to. Adjust the time you wake up and go to sleep by 30 minutes a day.
  2. On The Flight: Get into the mind-set of where you’re going. Soon after you board the plane change your watch to your destination time. Attempt to eat and sleep on the flight according to your watch.
  3. On The Flight: Pay attention to your light exposure. Increase or decrease the amount of light according to the time of day at your destination. You can use a sleep mask, adjust the window blind, turn electronic devices or the overhead light on or off as needed.
  4. On The Flight: Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol and caffeine.
  5. At Your Destination: Before bed, take a hot shower or bath. Once out, your body temperature will drop and this can help make you sleepy.
