How to reduce impact of jet lag in east-west travel - Naveed Yaseen - 10-28-2009 06:24 AM
Jet lag is the term for disrupted sleep when you travel between time zones, and your body doesn’t adjust to sleeping on a new schedule.
The US National Library of Medicine offers these suggestions to minimize jet lag:
Today’s Health Tips
* Stick to a good bedtime and sleep schedule before departing. Don’t miss out on sleep in an attempt to beat jet lag.
* Adjust your bedtime by a few hours before you leave, depending on which time zone to which you’ll be travelling.
* If you’re only travelling for a few days, don’t worry about adjusting to a new time zone.
* Don’t sleep on the flight, unless the flight includes your usual bedtime.
* Don’t consume alcohol or caffeine, but do drink plenty of fluids.
* Keep up with your exercise routine, just not too close to bedtime.
