0.000 HBDHow to Kick Jet Lag's Ass + What I Have Learned about Flying Long Distance
<html> <p><strong>Jet lag can be a pain in the ass. The worst time was when I flied to Singapore many years ago. It was the first time I flew across many time zones and I wasn't prepared for being tired, grumpy and feeling sick for two whole weeks.</strong></p> <p>I'm a lot more prepared now and I've figured out a couple of things that works for me.</p> <p><img src="https://s15.postimg.org/vlmzhtu23/Screenshot_20.png" width="413" height="305"/></p> <p><strong>1) Adopt the local time the moment you get off the plane</strong></p> <p>Get up early. Luckily, when I got to Sydney, I lived with someone that got up at 6 AM to work. This way I woke up when they did and I was able to adapt to Australian time real quick.<br> <br> <strong>2) Never check what time it is back home<br> </strong><br> This has a big effect on your mindset. I fell for the temptation several times in Jamaica, because I was curious. And when I realized that it was in the middle of the night in Norway, I got very tired all of a sudden.</p> <p><strong>3) Don't nap during the day<br> </strong><br> I know, it's very tempting. But it will reduce your chances of a good night sleep at night.<br> <br> <strong>4) Move your ass</strong><br> <br> It might be the last thing you want to to when you're jet-lagged, but moving or working out is a really good idea to kick jet lag's ass.</p> <p><strong>5) Go outside<br> </strong><br> Daylight is a good idea for regulating your body clock! Explore the destination you arrived in!<br> </p> <h1><strong>Flying long distance</strong></h1> <p><br> <br> <strong>1) Paying for a better seat on the flight to guarantee sleep isn't always working<br> </strong><br> I paid for a better seat on my way back from Rio de Janerio. Well, let's say that the guy next to me filled out his seat, and also 20 % of my seat. There's no nice way to ask the flight attendants to get another seat because the guy next to me is too big. </p> <p><strong>2) Move around as often as possible<br> <br> </strong>If you are anything like, your ancles are turning in to cancles and you feel like a potato after some hours on the plane. Prevent this by moving around and streching.<br> <br> <strong>3) Hydrate - hydrate - hydrate<br> </strong><br> Just drink the H2O already.<br> <br> <strong>4) Stay far away from alcohol<br> </strong>Avoid drinking the day before flying and the day of flying, I've been in the air with a hangover. Let's say that I wouldn't have minded if the flight crashed in the ocean that day.</p> <p><strong>5) Dress comfortably</strong><br> <br> The days where people got dressed up for flying are gone. I'm not saying you should wear crocs and a onepiece, but avoid tight clothes and synthetic materials. (I do this all the time, not only for flying. Ha ha.)<br> <br> </p> <p>Susanne<br> </p> </html>
