Jet Lag

We probably all had it at some point in our lives. But what exactly is going on? It is a physiological condition that results from a disruption in the body's circadian rhythms, also known as the body clock. It is seen as a circadian rhythm disorder. Symptoms tend to be more severe when traveling eastward compared with westward. Jet lag can cause headaches, insomnia, and irritability.

I found these 5 tips you can try next time you travel:

  1. First, fast up until the first morning at the destination. If you arrive in the afternoon, fast until the next morning. If you arrive in the morning, eat right away. Food is a powerful circadian entrainer. Breakfast "starts" the day for your circadian rhythm, so make sure you're breaking the fast at the right time.

  2. Second, don't sleep until bedtime. That means no naps (cat or otherwise). Stay active all day long, going for walks (which is the best way to see a city) and even exercising a bit.

  3. Third, get as much natural light throughout your first day as possible. Immersing myself in bright natural light tells your circadian rhythm that it's daytime, catapults you into the new time zone. Staying indoors allows it to stick to the previous time zone.

  4. Fourth, get a good workout in on the first morning. If it's morning when you arrive, that means training right away.

  5. Fifth, take 2-3 mg of melatonin and 20 grams of collagen an hour before your desired bedtime in the new location. Melatonin is most crucial here because it helps establish a new circadian bedtime, but collagen is also good for its glycine content, which improves sleep quality.
 
So choose one of these tactics, and you'll improve your resilience and adaptation to the new time zone. Do them all, and you'll be untouchable.
