Jet lag
Jet lag is a condition that can affect a great many people who undertake
flights of any reasonable duration. In it's most common form jet
lag can cause prolonged drowsiness, lethargy, poor sleeping, and
irritability for some time after the actual flight that caused it.
Jet lag is normally associated with long-haul flights but not every
person who takes a long-haul flight will notice the effects of jet
lag - indeed the symptoms will vary from person to person, and from
flight to flight. Most people who are regular travellers know all
to well the symptoms and causes of jet lag. Understanding what causes
jet lag goes a long way to reducing the chances you'll end up suffering
from it on your next journey. |

People are creatures of habit, and we all have our own internal
body clock that regulates many of our bodily functions. We’re
also creatures of routine, and in normal life we adhere astonishingly
rigidly to fixed patterns of behaviour. All this is good news for
us when life carries on as usual, but when we uproot ourselves and
fly half-way across the globe, passing through numerous time zones
along the way, we do ourselves no favours what-so-ever. Imagine
if at 10pm at night you were suddenly presented with the fact that
it was now 10am in the morning and you had to suddenly cope with
a brand new day ahead of you without sleep. It would be hard to
do under the best of conditions without factoring the stress and
anxiety that normally accompanies long-distance travel. This is
essentially the reason for jet lag - the body passes through time
zones faster than it can adjust. With modern jets able to get to
the other side of the planet in the space of just 24hrs, even the
longest flights offer you precious little time for your body clock
to adjust and to reset itself.
Many people shrug of the concept of jet lag saying they will sleep
comfortably on the plane. Perhaps this is true for some people,
but most people on long-haul flights manage to sleep only fitfully
at best, and any sleep they get is hardly a substitute for a decent
night in their own bed. Staying up the night beforehand to make
sure that you are literally exhausted for the long flight will not
help your chances of avoiding jet lag - in fact it will probably
compound the problem and make the symptoms worse. Try to make sure
you sleep as well as you possibly can the night before and will
offset some of the effects of a poor sleep on the plane. Of course
this is often easier said than done, particularly as many people
are often anxious before flying. Indeed, factors such as anxiety,
nervousness, stress, illness or even hangovers can, and do, play
a role in the degree of jet lag you can suffer from. |
