When you do this, you put in the advance effort to change your sleep patterns in accordance with the time zones of the country you are traveling.<\/p><p>If you are traveling in the East, try sleeping an hour earlier. And if you are traveling to the countries located in the West, try sleeping an hour later. When you give your mind and body sufficient time and space to adjust to a particular schedule, you can save yourself the trouble of adapting to a different time zone after you reach there.<\/p><h3>#2: Stay Hydrated<\/h3><p>Hydrate your body well enough to stay away from the symptoms of jet lag. Flight cabins have dry air, so you need to drink fluids from time to time to keep your body hydrated. You can do so by keeping a water bottle beside you. Refill it and ensure that you are drinking enough liquids to keep the dehydration at bay. Additionally, the combined effect of sitting in dry cabins and using the bathrooms during travel can further increase the body\u2019s need for water and other fluids.<\/p><h3>#3: Consider Melatonin Supplements<\/h3><p>It so happens that our body naturally produces melatonin (sleep hormone) so that we can fall asleep in time. It&#8217;s generally the darkness that signals the mind to start producing the hormone. But when we travel to a different time zone, our <a href=\"https:\/\/kokoro.today\/scientific\/circadian-rhythm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">circadian rhythm<\/a>\u00a0is disturbed, and our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kokoro.today\/scientific\/melatonin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">melatonin<\/a> production is affected. This is when we can take additional melatonin supplements to deal with the sleep issues caused by jet lag.<\/p><p>If you have tried other ways to deal with jet lag and nothing seems to work for you, use melatonin supplements to get a good night&#8217;s sleep, which will help you remain fresh and energetic for the day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2bf44f no-audio amazone-product elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"c2bf44f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4chiBjh\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"linkpro\">\n <div class=\"product-card\">\n        <div class=\"product-image\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kokoro.today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/61ed5-lB0nL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_FMwebp_.webp\" alt=\"Singing Bowl Set\">\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"product-info\">\n            <div class=\"amazon-logo\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kokoro.today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Amazon_logo-1.png\" alt=\"Amazon Logo\">\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"pro-title-text\">\n                <h5 style=\"font-weight:600;\">OLLY Sleep Gummies\n                <\/h4> \n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"product-rating\">\n                <span class=\"stars\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kokoro.today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/4.5.png\"><\/span>\n                <span class=\"rating-text\">4.5 <span class=\"ratings-count\">( 42,428 ratings)<\/span><\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"shop-button\">\n               <p class=\"text-shop\">8K+ bought in past month<\/p>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4chiBjh\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon-img\" src=\"https:\/\/kokoro.today\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Amazon_icon-1.png\" alt=\"imgicon\" > SHOP ON AMAZON<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e0788a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e0788a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>#4: Limit Caffeine and Alcohol<\/h3><p>Avoid consuming caffeine and alcohol during the long travels. It so happens that our body is already low on hydration while we are traveling. It is due to several reasons (dry cabins in flight and so on), and when we consume alcohol on top of it, it further dehydrates our bodies. Caffeine can help you stay alert and awake during the flight but can interfere with your sleep if you want to have a sound sleep on the flight. Consuming caffeine can help you stay awake but in no way cure the jet lag. Additionally, prefer to have light meals during the flight to keep yourself in a comfortable position.<\/p><h3>#5: Take Time to Relax<\/h3><p>Either on a flight or before taking the flight, rest well so that you can feel alert and energetic after you reach your destination. It is important that you take out your resting time. You can divide it into naps or sleep for long hours while you are traveling. Don\u2019t skip stretching while you are on a flight, and make sure you are giving yourself a conducive environment to sleep well, whether it&#8217;s setting the right temperature, putting a dim light, or canceling out the external noises.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dd449e conclusion-col e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0dd449e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fa0e05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2fa0e05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4b9502 cus-faq-sec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4b9502\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Jet Lag is a common phenomenon we face when we take a trip abroad.
