Jet lag, also known as desynchronizes, it is a momentary disorder that causes exhaustion, insomnia, and other symptoms because of air travel across time zones.
Other than fatigue and insomnia, a jet lag victim may experience dehydration, headache, irritability, nausea, anxiety, constipation, diarrhea, puzzlement, sweating, synchronization problems, and even memory loss. Some persons report additional symptoms, such as increased vulnerability to illness and heartbeat irregularities.
The cause of jet lag is the incapability of the body of a traveler to instantly adjust to the time in a diverse zone. As the body struggles to deal with the new schedule, temporary fatigue, insomnia, irritability, and an impaired ability to concentrate may set in. The distorted bathroom schedule may cause constipation or diarrhea, and the brain may turn out to be confused and disoriented as it attempts to juggle schedules.
Jetlag is in fact is caused by disruption of your ‘body clock’, a very small cluster of brain cells that looks after the timing of biological functions, including when you eat and sleep. The symptoms of jetlag often continue for days as the internal body clock gradually adjusts to the new time zone.
By following a watchfully timed program of light and dark at the times one’s body clock is most receptive, one can quickly reset it to the new time zone.
The following are the ways to avoid jet lag:
• Pre-flight: It is one of the most considerable aspects of fighting jet lag.
• East or west: So evidence states flying westwards causes less jet lag than flying eastwards.
• Night or day flight: Depends on personal preference based on experience.
• Drinking fluids: Drinking plenty of non-alcoholic fluids helps.
• Sleeping aids: Blindfolds, blow-up pillows, neck rests, earplugs, and can help one get quality sleep while flying.
• Exercise: Get as much exercise as possible. This helps to reduce the likelihood of blood clots and associated trauma.
• Showers: A shower freshens one up and also gets the muscles and circulation going again and makes one feel much better for the rest of the flight.
