Starting your much deserved holiday with long-distance flights, stopovers and connecting flights can leave you feeling tired and having the dreaded\u00a0jet lag. Not to worry, here are a few easy tips to avoid the unwelcome \u201cjet lag\u201d: <\/span><\/p>\n

Opt for overnight flights<\/b><\/h3>\n

Overnight flights mean you would most likely have dinner at your normal time and sleep more than when you\u2019re on an afternoon flight. Depending on your flight duration<\/a>, you may most likely arrive your destination in the morning or afternoon, making you ease into your normal schedule better. <\/span><\/p>\n

Relax<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"9<\/p>\n

Even before your flight, start your holiday<\/a> feeling fresh, rather than feeling tired. If you have a rigid schedule, try as much as possible to relax a few days before your flight. A rigid schedule would only make it harder to ease into your new time zones and we definitely don\u2019t want that. <\/span><\/p>\n

Get a Good Night\u2019s Sleep<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"9<\/p>\n

Most times, due to the holiday excitement or time used in packing, people end up sleeping for just a few hours or not at all before a long flight. Big Mistake! Getting a good night\u2019s sleep would help you avoid feeling jet lagged. <\/span><\/p>\n

Say No to Caffeine<\/b><\/h3>\n

Try as much as possible to avoid coffee, energy drinks and overeating, at least 12 hours before as well as during our flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although caffeine can help keep you awake for a long time, you would tend to wake up often when you end up falling asleep – reducing your total sleep time and increasing your jet lag recovery time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay hydrated<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"9<\/p>\n

Drink a lot of water for every hour you\u2019re flight bound – even if you are not thirsty. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your body functions better when hydrated, so drinking lots of water is an awesome way to avoid jet lag. <\/span><\/p>\n

In your hand luggage make sure to pack a hydrating spray, moisturizing lotion, and lip balm. <\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid or Limit Alcohol Inflight<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"9<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the tempting gin and tonic<\/a> fool you. Cabin air dehydrates passengers, and altitude changes can increase the effects of alcohol – tiredness and jet lag. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an unwritten rule which says a drink on air can be likened to two or three on the ground so don\u2019t take a lot if you have to. <\/span><\/p>\n

Try to sleep on the plane. <\/b><\/h3>\n

\"9<\/p>\n

Travel can be really tiring and the more you rest on your flight, the more you reduce the chances of jet lag. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you are on an overnight flight, go for the window seat and bring enough padding – pillows to allow you sleep easily. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hunt for Sunlight<\/b><\/h3>\n

Get as much daylight as you can after your flight. The sun would make you feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n
