What is Jet Lag?
Jet lag, also known as time zone change syndrome or desynchronosis, is a temporary psychological condition that occurs when your circadian rhythm is disrupted when you travel rapidly across multiple time zones, typically happening with long-haul flights. While it can be uncomfortable, preventive steps can be taken to manage it such as staying hydrated, managing sleep schedule and taking supplements like melatonin.
Symptoms of Jet Lag
Symptoms of Jet Lag may vary, these include;
Fatigue
Sleepiness
Insomnia
Mood changes
Difficulty focusing
Digestive issues
Dizziness
Headaches
Risk factors of Jet Lag
Multiple time zones crossed
The more time zones are crossed, greater will be the severity of symptoms associated with Jet lag.
Age
Older adults may find it more difficult to adjust to a new time zone, taking more time to recover from jet lag.
Health status
Sleep disorders and mental issues can make the symptoms of jet lag worse.
Travel direction
Eastward flights tend to cause more jet lag than Westward flights because travelling East shortens the day making it difficult for the body to adjust.
Prevention of Jet Lag
Here are some key strategies to prevent Jet Lag:
Adjust sleep schedule
Before travelling, adjust your sleep schedule gradually. Wake at times closer to the time zone of your destination before your trip to align
Stay Hydrated
Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after flight to avoid dehydration. Dehydration worsen the symptoms of jet lag
Physical activity
Keep your body moving or engage in light exercises before and during your flight to minimise symptoms.
Rest
Rest is essential before departure, ensure you get plenty of sleep to prevent jet lag
Sunlight exposure
Sunlight helps in resetting body’s internal clock, spend more time in natural light when you reach your destination
Melatonin
Some people take melatonin supplements to help them sleep better, discuss with your healthcare provider before you take them
Medication for Jet Lag
The recommended medicine for Jet Lag is Melatonin 3mg.
Snooze your way to happiness—take a 3 mg melatonin tablet daily. Just take the first tablet 30 minutes before bedtime on the day you arrive at your destination and stick with the same schedule for up to 5 days. If the standard dose is not doing the trick, increase it to 6 mg.
