For long haul flights I adjust to the new time zone up to a week in advance. This has worked for me consistently for years.
Also, avoid caffeine 4-6 hours before trying to sleep.
That what I do
Long haul international flights require a different hack.
What I do in that scenario is: as soon as I get to my hotel room I take a long shower* then I take a 60 minute nap.
*I do not unpack my bags first.
I either set my alarm to ring in 60 minutes or I ask the hotel's front desk to phone my room in 60 minutes (After my shower).
No coffee drinking, and no sweetened drinks, in the evenings; as this will disrupt normal night sleep.
The Shower refreshes and the 60 minute nap re-energizes.
Then I unpack my bags after doing those things.
After settling into the hotel room I can go out for the night or get a bite to eat and quickly meet up with my group of friends.
At night time I am able to sleep at local hours, despite the time zone difference.
It works for me. It may work for you
Thanks! I am arriving at my destination around Noon. Perfect for me to get a shower, take a nap, and go find some food and chill into the evening.
Problem for me is that I can't get up when my alarm goes off. I over nap and then can't go to bed early.
Agree 100% that is what we do and find it works best
international flight from
Dxb to SYD, got home and slept like a baby and jet lag is cured, no sleep on the plane is tough but it works
Thank you so much for sharing! I will do that on my upcoming flight. 💙
You’re welcome! Hope you have a relaxing flight!
I usually invest first day of the travel sleeping or relaxing. It do the trick
That's what I do, won't make any plans other than maybe dinner reservations late in the evening. Works out great.
@@jennysjourney02 Wow, good to see someone doing same stuff. Do you travel solo or with family?
@@user-qo7jj1dd3x with family.
I have inadvertently done this with success because I cannot sleep on planes! From the West Coast to Europe, adjusting my schedule to wake up earlier and earlier starting about 10 days before travels helps too.
Great advice Megan!
Likewise. I’ve tried many things. Sleep is the best hack 😮
Nope, got to my destination at the normal bedtime there after being awake for 24 hours. Still only slept a couple hours because my body clock was all off. Same with coming home!
I appreciate you sharing this hack, but I don’t know if it’s good idea for long haul red eye flights. If we leave at 7pm and get to our destination at 10am local time, staying up on the plane would be devastating to my wakefulness.
Flying long haul flights are horrible cramped and boring. I'll sleep through it and deal with jet lag later
i thought of jet lag the game when i read the title
me too
flights from Australia - takes 20 plus hours to get to Europe - I am not staying awake that long. 😣
I love your stuff but you misspelled Avoid in your title. Pls fix
Maybe she was jet lagged when she typed it 😂
When flying home to the US from Europe, I set my watch on "home time" and never think about what time it really is.
Her eyes have mesmerised me.
Cringe. 🥴
My hotel entry is 3pm. Yes!
My daughter, who has been living overseas for 10 years in both Europe and the far East, taught me this. Unfortunately, airlines don’t always have flights available to meet this schedule. But it does work when they do! 😎✈️🌍
I expect you and/or your daughter have had a few opportunities to test it out! Happy travels!
If only most flights to Europe would listen
Try some energy medicine. Travel essence blend from Australian Bush Flower Essence range.
If my flight arrives mid-day, I normally take a 1 1/2 to 2 1/2- hour nap. Then I force myself to get up and stay up until 9 or 10 PM then I go to bed. I still have jet-lad but not as bad as I would otherwise.
“Avoid jet lag. Don’t go anywhere!” 🤣🤣🤣✈️✈️✈️
I didn’t sleep on the plane going from Oahu to Boston and it worked.
Good advice here's another small trick that helps with jet lag. Go for a walk barefoot in grass after you arrive.
I will arrive in the morning after a 13 hours flight.. so it would be a no sleep for a day then... so I will try to sleep on the plane because then I start my day at around in the morning on arrival.
So it's OK to drink on a plane? 🍾
No
I work nights so when I went to NZ I was naturally awake when it was the day there anyway
One positive side to shift work! Safe travels!
What if you have a 10 hour flight
For some reason when I stay up until normal bed time, I sleep quickly but when I wake up like 8 hours later it feels like I just closed my eyes and opened them, like normally you will feel a bit groggy when u wake up but I don’t, but after like 2 hours I get really sleepy for some reason like the quality is shit
Great jet lag tip
Jet lag---I think, is more or less, follows genetic predisposition ---but more likely the former. While certain people fly---even through turbulence and prrssurizstions of the interiors of aircraft without exhibiting any adverse syndromes ---others must constantly be symptomatic of apparent dishevelment as personal evidence of air travel---be it a thoroughly smooth uneventful flight -- leaving both they (the afflicted) and the former, (genetically immune), bewildered as to how come....
I dont usually get jet lag🤔
You lucky
This is what I do, power through and then go to sleep at a normal time.
Any plans to go to Vietnam soon?
Oxygen Bar!
I think you are beautiful, perhaps it's deepfake.
None of these strategies worked for me literally 😅! When I am tired I am just tired 🥱
