How To Get Jetlag-Free Travel
Author: Stanley Emerson

People who travel a lot experience jetlag. Athletes, who travel
to different countries for their tournament, attribute their
poor performance on jetlag. Business people, who go to various
places for business meetings and other matters, hold jetlags as
accountable for their bad days. This goes to show that jetlag
affects not only the physical condition of the body but the
entirety of an individual.

Jetlag, basically, refers to condition of the body being
disoriented. More often than not, jetlags are a result of
crossing time zones which affects the internal body clock of an
individual. Some of the common symptoms of jetlag are inability
to sleep at night, loss of drive, malaise, tiredness, inability
to concentrate, and headaches.

Generally, the severity of jetlags is dependent on the
direction of the travel. Most experts say that the occurrences
of jetlags are lesser when people travel westward than
eastward. This is because the body rhythm is extended up to 27
hours when a person flies westward. In turn, the body is able
to catch up with whatever changes in the environment

Moreover, the so-called "circadian rhythm" is greater than 24
hours when a person travels westward. This is because the time
of the day is lengthened, thus, giving more time for the body
to adjust.

In reality, there are no quick fixes to "cure" the signs of
jetlags. However, there are ways to deal with it so as to start
healthier in the new environment.

Here's how:

1. Staying outside during the day is recommended to cope up
with jetlags. This is because the person's body clock will be
able to adjust at a faster rate if it will become accustomed to
the new surroundings. Usually, natural light aids in coping up
with jetlags.

2. It would be better for a person to adjust their bedtime
schedules so as to prevent the severity of jetlags. In this
way, their body clock will be able to cope up with the changes
in the time setting.

3. It is best if people will start eating, sleeping, and doing
their usual activities patterned to the local time setting of
the new place and not from the usual time they do it back home.


4. For people who travel because of some important event like
the athletes or the entrepreneurs, it is best if they travel
way ahead of time to their event schedules. This is to give
them more time to adjust and get accustomed of the area.

So, jetlags are not so much of a problem. It is just a matter
of adjustment and coping up. After which, people can now enjoy
the new scenery.
