I am not here to offer tips on how to prevent and or cure jetlag. I am here to offer a simple experiment all air travelers can perform before and during your air travels. Get a weight scale that will easily fit in your backpack. Take an inventory of the clothes and accessories youre wearing and weigh yourself at the airport terminal before you board your flight and write what you weighed so you dont forget. After the aircraft gets to its maximum altitude get your scale out and weigh yourself again and write what you weigh at that altitude. The premise or assessment here is that Earth's magnetic field is more dense at ground level and so people and objects weigh more at sea level and weigh less the higher we get because Earth's magnetic field becomes increasingly less dense the further away we get from Earth. So air travelers are experiencing only partial gravitational forces unlike the astronauts who experience zero gravity at the ISS. So i guess you could say air travelers are mini-astronauts or astronauts in training. So partial gravitational forces being experienced by air travelers may be the cause of jetlag.

Instead of unhealthy sodapop like Coke, try Yerba Mate Tea. Yerba Mate has a type of caffine that is subtle but longer acting. I love using Yerba Mate instead of coffee because there are no jitters or nervousness, just a calm but long acting, focused energy, perfect for studying, work, travel, and to combat jet lag. I carry yerba mate tea bags everywhere with me, and my insulated travel mug. Just need hot water from a coffee shop or from the FAs on the plane. I start drinking Yerba before landing, it wakes me up, help me focus, give me energy to get through customs and travel to whe re I'm staying, etc. Oh and a little better flavor, I mix it with green tea, or lemon/ginger if my stomach is upset.

Good advice however a 5 hour time zone difference you must account for air travel as well so a 5 hour TZ difference plus a 7 hour flight is really feels like a 12 hour difference. because that flight is a brutal beating to your body as well. trust me I fly from NY to SA enough and it the TZ difference is 6 hours not to bad but the flight is 16 hours so it really feels like a full day. Hes right on everything but the one thing that Id say is that Alcohol is NOT your friend on those flights so stay hydrated with non alcoholic beverages and it really helps. a lot

I was told that a great way to combat jet lag is to make sure that you are outside at Noon at your destination (Noon - your destination's time zone. Make sure you are outside and getting some sun for about 20 minutes or so. Even if it is cloudy going out can help. For some reason, I was told, being outside at noon and your body feeling the noonday sun at that time helps tell your body that hey, it's noon and helps to re-set your internal clock. It seems to help me.

Drink ALOT of water helped me with jet lag going to Singapore from UK. But was really jetlagged when travelling back, didn't adjust to time zone a few days before because I was on my holidays. . So I would take these tips for going to your holiday destination but on the way back i'd just continue with your holiday make every minute count and deal with jet lag when you are back

I find that when flying from East Coast US to Europe that a good long nap in a day hotel upon arrival works great. I sleep from arrival at about 10 until 4 or 5 pm, then take a shower and eat a nice dinner, then return, read a book, and go to bed. Without that long nap, Im a zombie for 2 days. I fought this strategy for several years but once I did it, I wont go back.

When the 8th grade kids went from the DC area to Costa Rica, their field trip on the first day out was to a coffee plantation. Brilliant! My son called and rattled out in rapid succession, Hi MOM! We got here ok! I just tried chocolate-covered espresso beans! They're great! They all crashed that evening around 8 pm and were reasonably acclimated from then on.

Two tips Ive learned from my travels: Be cautious about relying too heavily on caffeine to stay awake during the day. It just makes it that much harder to fall asleep in the evening. Also, the best way Ive found to reset my body clock is to eat proper meals on the new time zone. It really helps to get acclimated to a new diurnal routine.

I think I might have found the best flight to help with my jet lag, for our trip to Spain this year. We leave Los Angels at 7: 30 pm and arrive in Malaga at 8: 30 pm the next day. So we go to sleep and our normal bed time on the plane and then again when we land in Spain. We have never flown this flight before so hopefully it will work.

If you arrive during the day of your destination, or morning, just force yourself to stay awake until like 9-10 or a regular time you go to bed, itll suck that day cause youll be really tired but then youll wake up on your new country's sleep schedule and it wont be that bad. Just absolutely do not fall asleep until a normal time
