Master jet lag - International travel tip

by Avril (Denny) Reed (RSS feed) on Jan 19th 2010 at 8:21AM

I used to commute internationally from the USA to Europe. Here are my best tips for mastering jet lag.

Do not eat any airline food (it's high in sodium).Instead, pack your own food to eat.
Do not drink any alcohol (it dehydrates you). Rather, drink lots of water instead.
Use ear plugs and wear something to cover your eyes. If you cannot sleep just rest.
When arriving at your destination take a long, hot bath and add lavender salts or essential oils (they invigorate the body).
Take a 1 hour nap -- no longer.
Go for a walk in the fresh air, rain or shine and only go to bed when it is that country's bedtime.
