Jet lag
<< back to Jet Lag, page 1
There is a school of thought that passengers flying from West to
East will suffer more from jet lag than those going in the opposite
direction, although this depends greatly on the passenger as well
as other mitigating factors. Additionally It is thought that flying
from North to South, or vice-versa, has little effect but again,
jet lag can be brought on by any number of factors working together
so it would be unwise to assume a jet lag-free flight based on the
direction you’re travelling in. |

The time of day
that you fly can also have a bearing on jet lag. Many frequent
travellers subscribe to the theory that taking a day flight is
best as this allows you to have a good night’s sleep at
either end of the journey. There is some basis to this as many
travellers, despite best intentions, are simply unable to relax
sufficiently to sleep for prolonged periods on aircraft. This
method obviously only works if your flight or journey is less
than a day in duration. For those going from one side of the globe
to the other, where flying times can be over 20 hours, the time
of day you depart will have little impact on how you feel at the
end of the journey.
On the plane itself there are a number of things that you can do
to avoid jet lag. Do try to take in as much water as you can. Water
is good for you anyhow, but on an aircraft even more so. On the
plane you will be at the mercy of the recycled air, the atmospheric
pressure in the cabin, and the temptation of free alcoholic drinks
on some flights. As such your body will dehydrate more than usual
while you are in transit, so keeping a steady intake of water (or
other non-alcoholic beverages) is important.
While the alcoholic drinks won’t disturb your body clock,
they will cause dehydration (which is a particular problem on long-haul
flights anyhow) and just compound your problems when you leave the
aircraft. If you’re going on vacation you’ll have plenty
of time to catch up on those drinks later – you don’t
want to be sleeping away your precious vacation time suffering from
jet lag and hangovers. You may find that the use of sleeping aids
such as blindfolds, earplugs (or headphones), neck rests and such
may help you to relax. Some seasoned travellers even bring their
own small pillow – airline pillows are notoriously thin and
you need at least a couple of them to get any volume and support).

A recent addition to the marketplace are 'No-Jet-Lag' tablets. They
are homeopathic by nature and are gaining popularity all the time
with seasoned travellers. No-jet-lag tablets are reputed to be a natural solution to combating the effects of jet lag. No-jet-lag tablets can be purchased online
from Amazon - here.
Remember,
jet lag isn’t an ‘all-or-nothing’ condition.
There are varying degrees of jet lag so how much you suffer from
it, and how long it takes you to recover, will depend on how you
approach your flight. Drink plenty of water, take as much sleep
as you can get, and avoid stress and anxiety as much as you can
and you should have an enjoyable trip.
Bon
Voyage!
