How to deal with jetlag on long-haul flights

Jetlag is one of the most unpleasant aspects of long—distance travel. This word refers to the failure of the body's natural rhythms due to the intersection of several time zones. It is often not easy to adapt to it.

Denis Dovgopoly, entrepreneur and organizer of Startup Crash Test, has experience in overcoming such an unpleasant situation. By occupation, he has had to cope with a difference of 6-10 time zones since 2005. Denis cannot afford to spend days on adaptation. Here are a few of his recommendations.

1. A couple of days before the flight, try to sleep as little as possible. Keep yourself busy with work and fees so that in these two days it takes no more than five hours to sleep.

2. The resulting fatigue makes it possible to sleep off on the plane. This way the body adapts to the new rhythm faster.

3. No coffee during the flight! This is even more confusing. When you get to your destination, you can drink a cup or two - as a stimulant.

4. Take tickets so that you arrive between noon and sunset. You need to see the sun go down. So the body understands that evening has come. Arriving early in the morning leaves little chance of going to bed at a normal time. After sunset, the body does not know what time it is. The difference in price for such flights is justified.

5. It is important not to go to bed before 10 pm. If you wake up before 7 a.m., force yourself to sleep for another hour or two.

6. The most dangerous period, regardless of the time shift, is from 4 to 6 p.m. At this time, the risk of falling asleep and waking up at 2 am is especially high. In the same interval, you need to be very careful driving and it is better not to make appointments.

7. If you have identified a dangerous time for yourself, there are two good ways to occupy it. The first is a swimming pool or a beach: 30-40 minutes in the water give a good charge of vivacity until the evening. The second is walking. In an energetic rhythm, in the park, an hour and a half.

8. Fruits can also support during this period.

9. If nothing helps, pharmacies have melatonin, a regulator of the rhythm of life. It is taken before going to bed and revives in a couple of days. A little hormone is better than a lot of stress. But this is an extreme case.

And one more point that should be taken into account. As a rule, the flight to the east is experienced worse than to the west. Easy trips for you.
