Gradually adjust your internal clock<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>One of the best ways to prepare yourself (and your body) for a journey across several time zones, is to slowly shift your sleeping schedule,\u00a0so that by the time you arrive, you\u2019re already acclimated.\u00a0For eastbound travel (e.g. Europe to Asia, or America to Europe), it is recommended to\u00a0get up and go to bed earlier several days prior to the\u00a0trip.\u00a0When you travel in a western direction (e.g. Asia to Africa, or Europe to America), then you need to do the opposite and\u00a0push your\u00a0sleeping schedule\u00a0backward to a later time\u00a0in the days preceding your travel.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">2. Plan your arrival time<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>If you are flexible in your travel plans, then always try to arrive at your destination in the afternoon or early evening. That way, you can still have a decent dinner and a good night\u2019s rest on the day of arrival, before immediately submerging yourself in the time zone of your destination the following day. The worst jet lags I&#8217;ve experienced were those where I arrived early morning at a destination after missing a whole night of sleep (e.g. flight from the USA East Coast to Europe).<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">3. Avoid overnight flights<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Jet lag is always tougher when flying\u00a0from west to east (since you lose time). One of the best strategies\u00a0to prevent an eastbound jet lag is to avoid those horrible, overnight, redeye flights, that will cost you several hours of sleep in less than optimal conditions (especially when you have troubles falling asleep on a plane like me). Although some routes are generally known to the larger public as redeye flights, there are often dayflight alternatives\u00a0as well (e.g. from\u00a0Chicago, Washington or New York to London). If a daylight flight is not offered, then book a redeye flight with an arrival time that coincides with late afternoon or evening at your destination.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">4. Avoid a\u00a0stressful departure<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>One of the most effective ways to cope with\u00a0jet lag is leaving on a trip in a relaxed state of mind.\u00a0Planning your holiday immediately after a tiring, stressful week considerably increases the probability of a nasty jet lag.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">5. Consider flying Business or First Class<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>For most, flying <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/trip-reports-in-business-class\/\">Business Class<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/trip-reports-in-first-class\/\">First Class<\/a> is a privilege and pure delight. The premium cabins offer delicious food, more privacy and excellent onboard service, in addition to an enhanced ground experience with priority check-in, fast lanes at security check points, and access to lounges. However, IMHO, the main reason to fly Business or First Class is the extra comfort of having a flatbed which can make a world of difference since you can actually snuggle down for a perfect night\u2019s sleep on a plane. Sleeping attributes are excellent as well, with fluffy pillows, soft duvets and cozy pajamas. I previously explained <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2016\/06\/17\/how-to-earn-miles-and-fly-for-free\/\">how\u00a0to\u00a0fly Business or First Class without breaking your wallet<\/a>. However, if\u00a0you can\u2019t avoid coach, opt for a window seat and bring a pillow (or something that can act as\u00a0one) to prop yourself up against the cabin\u2019s wall.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">6. Try to fly the Boeing Dreamliner or Airbus A350<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The world\u2019s newest and most technologically advanced commercial aircraft types, the Boeing 787 (Dreamliner) and its competitor the Airbus A350, aim to ease any jet lag with the introduction of several new technologies. Draft-free air conditioning, adjustable temperature zones and the cabin air pressure, which is closer to the sea level air pressure, make the flight more enjoyable and less tiring for passengers. In addition, the adoption of full LED cabin lighting creates day and nighttime illumination that helps the body adapt to jet lag on long-range flights. From personal experience, I can indeed report that you feel less exhausted after traveling longhaul on a Boeing B787 or Airbus A350 as compared to other types of aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Read here my trip reports of flights on the Airbus A350:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Review:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/12\/30\/review-virgin-atlantic-a350-upper-class\/\">Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from London to New York<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2021\/02\/24\/review-delta-a350-business-class\/\">Delta One Business Class from Detroit to Amsterdam<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2019\/04\/10\/review-qatar-airways-qsuite\/\">Qatar Airways (QSuite) Business Class from Frankfurt to Doha<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2017\/09\/13\/review-cathay-pacific-a350-business-class\/\">Cathay Pacific Business Class from Hong Kong to Brussels<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2017\/06\/21\/review-singapore-airlines-a350-business-class\/\">Singapore Airlines Business Class from D\u00fcsseldorf to Singapore<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2015\/10\/14\/trip-report-finnair-business-class-a350\/\">Finnair Airbus Business Class from Brussels to Helsinki<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2020\/07\/15\/review-lufthansa-a350-business-class\/\">Lufthansa Business Class from Munich to New Delhi<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2022\/11\/16\/review-french-bee-premium-economy\/\">French Bee Airbus Premium Economy Class from San Francisco to Tahiti<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read here my trip reports of flights on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2023\/03\/22\/review-klm-b787-dreamliner-business-class\/\">KLM Business Class from Amsterdam to Cape Town<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2022\/10\/26\/review-air-tahiti-nui-boeing-787-business-class\/\">Air Tahiti Nui Business Class from Paris to Los Angeles<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2022\/10\/26\/review-air-tahiti-nui-boeing-787-business-class\/\">Etihad Airways Business Class from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2018\/01\/24\/review-ethiopian-airlines-b787-dreamliner-business-class\/\">Ethiopian Airlines Business Class from Vienna to Dar Es Salaam<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2019\/11\/06\/review-kenya-airways-b787-business-class\/\">Kenya Airways Business Class from Amsterdam to Nairobi<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2017\/03\/01\/trip-report-qatar-airways-b787-dreamliner-business-class\/\">Qatar Airways Business Class from Brussels to Doha<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2018\/10\/17\/review-singapore-airlines-b787-dreamliner-business-class\/\">Singapore Airlines Business Class from Bali to Singapore<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2019\/05\/29\/review-british-airways-b787-business-class\/\">British Airways Business Class from the Seychelles to London<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2019\/08\/07\/review-air-france-b787-business-class\/\">Air France Business Class from the Maldives to Paris<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2019\/04\/03\/review-avianca-b787-business-class\/\">Avianca Business Class from Bogota to Madrid<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2019\/06\/19\/review-air-canada-business-class\/\">Air Canada Business Class from Brussels to Montreal<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/turkeyalwan.net\/2017\/10\/11\/review-united-airlines-b787-dreamliner-polaris-business-class\/\">United Airlines Business Class from Paris to San Francisco<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"World&#039;s best Business Class: Qatar Airways Qsuite A350 from Frankfurt to Doha (AMAZING!)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y1My64NrMew?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 id=\"during\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TIPS TO FIGHT JET LAG <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">DURING THE\u00a0FLIGHT<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">7. Set your watch to the time at your destination<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>To help you mentally prepare for the new time zone, it is recommended to set your watch, smartphone and other devices\u00a0to the time at your destination as soon as you board the plane.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">8. Stay hydrated<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Jet lag can severely disturb one\u2019s body functions by causing dehydration, a situation that is often exacerbated by the dry, thin air in an aircraft\u2019s cabin. Therefore, it is necessary that you drink plenty of water on longhaul flights, even when you don\u2019t feel thirsty at all. In addition, take care of the wellbeing of your body by preventing dehydration of your eyes (by removing your lenses if you sleep) and your skin (by applying skin moisturizer and lip balm).<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">9. Eat lightly<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>An inconvenient\u00a0symptom\u00a0of jet lag is that it can mess up one\u2019s digestive system, with hunger attacks in the middle of the night and\u00a0loss of appetite during the day. Therefore, it is advised to skip heavy meals shortly before or during your flight, to give your stomach and intestines the time to adapt to the new time zone. Hearty salads, salty soups, and fresh fruits are your best options here.\u00a0Also, you may consider to pass on airplane food, since it\u2019s generally served on a schedule that\u2019s consistent with the time zone you\u2019re leaving but not with the one you\u2019re traveling to (at least, that is when you are traveling Economy, since Business and First Class passengers can often request meals at a time that suites them best).<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">10. Avoid alcohol and caffeine<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Alcohol and coffee can help to keep you awake longer, but in reality, those substances dehydrate your body and worsen symptoms of jet lag. In addition, they will make you wake up more often once you do fall asleep, hereby reducing your total sleeping time.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">11. Try to sleep on the plane<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The more rest your body gets en route to your destination, the more prepared you\u2019ll be to tackle the consequences of jet lag. Resting on a plane is especially important when you\u2019re traveling on a redeye flight in an eastbound direction, since you\u2019re losing several hours, sometimes an entire night. It\u2019s recommended to use those earplugs and eyeshades in your amenity kit so you can rest without being disturbed by any activity in the cabin. In addition, you may consider turning on the air-conditioning valve, since cooler temperatures may help you to fall asleep faster.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">12. Keep moving<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>When not resting on a plane, it is recommended to stimulate your blood circulation at least once an hour by\u00a0exercising your lower legs and calf muscles. You can do\u00a0so by getting up and wandering\u00a0to the bathroom or simply by performing small, simple exercises in your seat. That way, you stay fit and you will notice that your body will adapt faster to the new time zone once you have arrived.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">13. Use sleeping pills wisely<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>A low dose of a short acting sleeping pill\u00a0may be helpful on redeye flights to overcome discomfort, but always keep in mind that while sleeping pills may seem harmless, they can have very nasty side effects, such as making you feel groggy or affecting your memory. In fact, those side effects are the reason why I stopped taking sleeping pills on a plane, and it paid off as I feel much better during and after the flight.\u00a0It is recommended to only use sleeping pills on condition that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the flight is at least 8 hours.<\/li>\n<li>you can lie flat, since sleeping deeply in a cramped, upright, seated position significantly increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis (a potentially lethal condition).<\/li>\n<li>you have used sleeping pills before (a plane is not the place to try out a pill for the very first time).<\/li>\n<li>you consulted your physician or the travel clinic (never accept a sleeping pill from a family member, friend, or stranger).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Singapore Airlines A380 First Class Suite London to Singapore (PHENOMENAL!)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_O2_nTt1N6w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 id=\"after\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">TIPS TO FIGHT JET LAG AT YOUR DESTINATION<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>The real jet lag challenge comes when you arrive at your destination, as it\u00a0may take several days to adjust to a new time zone.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">14. Give yourself time<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Our body needs about\u00a0one day for every one-hour time zone crossed to get back to its built-in circadian rhythms. So a five\u00a0hour time difference means that you will need five days\u00a0to readjust to the new time zone. Give yourself all the time you need to overcome your jet lag and don\u2019t be disappointed and stressed when you don\u2019t completely recover overnight.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">15. Sleep during the night only<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Even if you feel like crawling under the covers midday, do not give in to your fatigue.\u00a0Unless you\u2019re used to taking regular short naps at home, you\u2019re better off staying up until bedtime. Fight your fatigue by\u00a0participating in social activities and being active during the day.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">16. Sun yourself<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Getting yourself out in daylight is key since it will help your brain adjust to the new time zone. Exposure to sunlight triggers a cascade of hormonal events that eventually make you sleepy at the appropriate night-time hour.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">17. Use sleeping pills during a short time only<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>If you suffer from sleep deprivation at your destination, taking a short acting sleeping pills during a limited time can bring some relief by inducing sleep at an appropriate evening hour or getting you back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<h5><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">18. Consider taking melatonin<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Melatonin is the most extensively studied jet lag drug, with a majority of well documented, clinical trials demonstrating\u00a0it has the potential to ease the effects of jet lag.
