Once your body eventually adapts to the time at your destination, the Jet Lag symptoms usually subside but this may take a few days.
There are some tips that may help reduce the effects of jet lag:
- Adapting your schedule to the new time zone is critical- e.g. not sleeping until it is reasonably close to your usual bedtime in the new time zone
- Adapting your sleep schedule prior to travel may help i.e. sleeping towards your destination time zone times
- Try not to oversleep- set alarms accordingly to prevent this
- Exposure to daytime in your destination can help to reset your internal body clock
- Limit your caffeine and alcohol intake during travel
- Staying well hydrated
- Medication- subject to your doctor’s advice
