Who ever has made en long journey with another time zone know the stuggle: Jetlag.
Arriving at your destination and your nackerd, you can’t seem to adjust to the new rithm. You’re tired during the hole day but at night you can’t get any sleep because you’re wide awake.
Not really a nice beginning of that awesome trip you where hoping to have.
We have made a list of tips and tricks that save you from this nightmare called jetlag fever.
1. Change your watch!
- Change your watch right before you board and try to adjust during the flight to the new timezone. This way you will have it easier when you land.
2. Say YES to Virgin mojito’s! Do NOT go to bed early but party untill the early hours!
- When you arrive in an earlier timezone do NOT go to bed early but party untill the early hours! It’s tempting to go to sleep earlier because you’re used to it and you’re tired from the journey. Instead of getting a few more hours sleep, go explore in town and go for a few more drinks. When you do this it’s easier to get used to the new rithm and your body will adjust sooner. Although don’t choose for alcoholic drinks, this will make it harder to fall asleep.
3. Drink water!
- Drinking 1liter of water is a standard. After a long journey its even more important! Sleeping problems isn’t the only harm that jetlag causes for your body. Jetlag can cause headaches, stomache issues and do not forget your terrible mood. Drinking water is not a mirical that wil solve all of this BUT at least it wont get worse.
Of course as a coffee addict myself it’s really tempting to get a good cup of coffee to get though the day/evening but do NOT do this! This may cause dehydration.
4. Go for a walk!
- It’s importent to get enough of fresh air and sunlight.
This helps to get your biorithm back on track!
