Overcoming Jet Lag

• When you arrive at your destination you will be tired.
  • Especially if you have traveled across time zones.

• Overcoming jet lag is part of the acclimatization process.
  • The sooner you are able to acclimitize:
    • The better you will feel.
    • The more productive you will be.

• To overcome jet lag you should:
  • Get a good night’s sleep the night before you travel.
  • Sleep on the airplane.
  • Stay awake until night time.
    • If you are very tired, take a short nap when you arrive.
  • Set your watch to the correct local time.
  • Stay properly hydrated.
  • Eat a high carbohydrate dinner.
    • Potato
    • Pasta
