How to avoid the jet lag? In this issue we review some recommendations to deal with this phenomenon generated in long flights.
Many people identify with the recognized sleep disorder or jet lag, but many do not know what it is called and what it can really do to a person, here I tell you a little about this disorder and what should be done to improve it.
The "internal clock" that we have or circadian rhythm by which we are governed, allows us to biologically regulate our sleep and rest times. This "clock" is synchronized with the periods of light and darkness of the place where we are, of course, the times in which we are used to carrying out our common activities.
This synchronization is what allows us to be active during the day and sleep at night.. For this reason we bring you some recommendations that we know can work for you when this time comes.
- Firstly, it is important to prepare yourself to avoid jet lag a little before you start your trip and get a good night's sleep.
- Arrive at the destination in the morning or early afternoon, even though you can end up very tired, you arrive at night sleepy and can sleep during the hours of darkness.
- Hydration is important, help us feel better with the new time zone.
- Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages, caffeine and/or stimulants.
- take a good shower, once at the destination it is good to try to relax, this will help us better manage the remaining hours of the day before going to rest and release all the accumulated tension.
- The key that during the flight is to be able to get up a little and stretch. If the destination is in the evening, try not to sleep too much on the trip, so that when you arrive it is easier to sleep. If you arrive in the morning, it is better to try to sleep during the journey to be more active when you arrive at the destination and thus feel good.
The effects of jet lag typically last between 1 a 3 days, it all depends on each person, of your body, your age, It has been possible to determine that in children and adults over 50 years these types of effects are more dominant, although it is impossible to avoid jet lag, what we can do is counteract the symptoms as long as we put into practice the aforementioned recommendations.
The experts at EMMA Sleep advise that no matter what activity we do, it is very important to take care of our sleep habits.
“Sleep plays a vital role in keeping us fit and healthy.. When you sleep a lot you wake up being the best version of yourself, Well, you have given your mind and body the time it needs to recharge and wake up feeling refreshed.”, explains Verena Senn, Neurobiologist and Head of Sleep Research at Emma – The Sleep Company, who explains to us why neglecting our sleep routines and continuing with bad habits at bedtime could be detrimental to our health.
In the case of those who manage an agenda full of trips, for them the stress of traveling by plane, just as jet lag is inevitable, but even so they or any person must make the effort to get used to traveling for several hours, as well as getting used to the time change and trying to manage this condition in the best way, trying to follow the above tips to reduce levels of fatigue, tension and stress.
