Travelling across the world today has become an everyday affair and is almost devoid of all complaints, except jet lag. How does one deal with this? Jet lag means fatigue, tired limbs, sleep loss and dehydration. It can sometimes last for days, making one wonder whether travel is worth it at all. What is surprising is that children under three do not seem to have any signs of jet lag as their bodies and minds are adaptive. It is only those that have regular fixed hours for doing things who are most affected.

Re-scheduling

For those who are just unable to adjust, it would be great to see if you can land at the new place before late evening. This will give the body time to adjust before hitting the sack. It is also important to maintain a consistent sleep pattern on flight. Alcohol should be avoided on flight since it tends to dehydrate the body and dehydration is one of the factors responsible for jet lag. Drinking a glass of water every hour is most helpful.
