Here are some tips and tricks for avoiding jet lag:

  1. Adjust your sleep schedule: A few days before your trip, start adjusting your sleep schedule to match your destination’s time zone. This will help your body adjust more easily when you arrive.

  2. Stay hydrated: Dehydration can make jet lag worse, so make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight.

  3. Get some exercise: Exercise can help regulate your body’s circadian rhythm and reduce the effects of jet lag. Try to get some exercise before your flight and during your trip.

  4. Avoid caffeine and alcohol: Caffeine and alcohol can disrupt sleep and worsen your jet lag. Avoid these substances during your flight and the hours leading up to bedtime.

  5. Use light to your advantage: Light is a potent regulator of the body’s circadian rhythm. Try to expose yourself to natural light as much as possible during the day and avoid bright screens before bedtime.

  6. Take naps strategically: Napping can be a helpful way to combat jet lag, but it’s essential to do it strategically. Take short naps at strategic times to help you stay alert and energized.

  7. Consider medication: If all else fails, consider taking medication to help you sleep or stay awake, depending on your needs. (see advice from your medical practitioner)

By following these tips and tricks, you can minimise the effects of jet lag and make the most of your travel experience. With some preparation and smart choices, you can arrive at your destination feeling alert, energised, and ready to explore.
