How to prepare for jet lag

by daynejones
by daynejones in travel, flying, sleep

This is my favorite way to deal with this problem.

Tools:

  • 1 ea Sunglasses
  • 1 ea Sleep Mask

Materials:

  • 1 ea melatonin

1Generate a sleep schedule

You can use a jet lag calculator like this one: http://www.britishairways.com/travel/drsleep/public/en_gb
Alternatively, just decide how many days you’d like to take to adjust your sleep schedule and divide the number of hours you need to change by that number. Example, I want to go to London, which is 8hrs different and I’d like to start adjusting 4 days before my trip so 2hrs per night!

2Use the melatonin, sleep shade, and sunglasses

Any time its dark in your destination city, you should be avoiding light. Wear sunglasses or your sleep mask. Any time its light, you should be seeking light. Turn all the lights in your house on.
Take the melatonin a couple hours before you would like to go to bed for the night. It gets your body believing its time to go to bed.

3Travel feeling refreshed!
