Getting Over Jet Lag

View:

Traveling can mean one thing for people and that is jet lag. Anyone who does a lot of traveling is going to be tired especially anyone that travels for sports or to do a certain type of performance. People in business will need to go to different places for meeting and to take care of business so they will have to travel from place to place. Jet lag is a physical reaction to a person who travels a lot.

Jet lag means that the body is going to be tired. They will have jet lag because they crossed the time zones and the body is not used to the time change. Some of the warning signs of jet lag are to lose sleep, be tired, no ability to concentrate and massive headaches.

Having jet lag is going to depend on the length of your travel. Most people say that jet lag is going to occur in people that go west to east. This is because the body is going to experience changes in the environment.

This is called the circadian rhythm and it is going to be more than twenty-four hours when a person goes west. This is due to the time of day and how it is going to be longer so that the body will have more time to adjust to the difference.

There are no fast fixes to the signs of jet lag. You will have to deal with it and get over the symptoms. You will need to get past them and move on to a healthier place whether on a flight from or Alaska.

Here are some tips to make this happen: Staying outdoors during the day to cope with the jet lag is going to help. You will want to do this so that your body can adjust to the time difference. You will find that you become more used to the new environment. Natural light is also going to help with the condition. It is best for someone to have their bedtime schedules fixed so that they prevent the problems of getting jetlag. Because of this, the body will be able to deal with the different time changes. Eat and sleep to the current time patterns of the new place and not how they would normally go about it at home. For the athletes and business people it is best to travel ahead of time in order to get to their events. This will give them more time to adjust to the time change and get the rest that they need. In order for jet lag to not be a problem for you, it is going to be up to you and how you adjust your life to it. You wan to make sure that you can enjoy the new scenery and figure out a plan of action for what you want to do.

Getting Over Jet Lag

In their findings, many medical experts state that air travelers usually experience a worse bout of jet lag when they fly from east to west. In general, the more time zones travelers fly across, flying from east to west, the more severe the their symptoms of jet lag will be. However, passengers will only experience a milder case of jet lag when they are on air flights traveling from west to east.

If travelers fly north to south, or south to north, for thousands of miles, they will not experience jet lag. But when the pilot of the airplane starts flying in an east to west direction and crosses more than one or two time zones, they can experience jet lag.

Passengers will not generally experience the symptoms of jet lag until after they exit the plane. That's when their biological clocks will start to make internal adjustments inside their bodies to coincide more closely with the local time at their destination. When air travelers cross one, or even two time zones, their bodies can usually adjust very quickly. However, when travelers are in poor health or not feeling well before the flight, the jet lag problem can be compounded.

The following information may lessen the effects of jet lag when you fly.

Try to catch a flight that arrives at your vacation destination in daylight hours. Immediately fit in with the new time zone and do not go to bed. If you feel tired and want to take a short snooze, do it in a well lighted place.

In the evening, sleep in a darkened room as the darkness will help prepare your brain for sleep.

You should also avoid looking at television or computer screens as they are bright and have high frequencies that can easily over-stimulate your brain.

Do not consume alcohol or any drinks such as coffee and soda that contain caffeine until your symptoms of jet lag wear off, as it can disrupt your sleep.

You may want to consider taking a melatonin tablet or capsule (as many air travelers do) in the early evening (your time) to help you adjust to the time zone at your destination. You may still have to take a dose of melatonin for the next three or four evenings in a row before you go to bed in this new location to help you readjust your biological clock. If you have never taken melatonin before, you should ask your doctor or local pharmacist for more information in regards to the suggested dosage.
