Conquer Jet Lag: Your Ultimate Guide to Beating Travel Fatigue
Aloha… Jet lag is a temporary but, very real sleep disorder that occurs when your body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm, is out of sync with the time zone you are in. It commonly happens when you travel rapidly across multiple time zones, disrupting your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Symptoms of jet lag include fatigue, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, and gastrointestinal discomfort. It typically takes a few days for your body to adjust to the new time zone and overcome jet lag.
Let me tell you ain’t nobody got time for dat!
Stay tuned in for the best tips to arrive refreshed and ready to take on the day!
Here are some tips to help combat tiredness from traveling from across a slew of times zones to our beloved Hawaiian Islands:
1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight to stay hydrated and combat fatigue.
2. Get plenty of rest before your flight: Try to get a good night's sleep before your journey to Hawaii to minimize tiredness.
3. Adjust your sleep schedule: Start adjusting your sleep schedule a few days before your trip to match the time zone of your destination, which can help reduce jet lag.
4. Take short naps: If you're feeling tired during your flight, taking short naps can help you feel more refreshed upon arrival.
5. Move around during the flight: Take short walks or do some light stretching exercises during your flight to keep your body from feeling stiff and tired.
6. Avoid caffeine and alcohol: Both caffeine and alcohol can disrupt your sleep patterns, so it's best to avoid them before and during your flight.
7. Use eye masks and earplugs: Minimize disturbances during your flight by using eye masks and earplugs to help you relax and sleep better.
8. Get some sunlight upon arrival: Exposure to natural sunlight can help reset your body's internal clock and reduce jet lag, so spend some time outdoors when you arrive in Hawaii.
