In their findings, many medical experts state that air travelers usually experience a worse bout of jet lag when flying from east to west. In general, the more time zones travelers fly across, flying from east to west, the more severe the their symptoms will be. However, passengers will only experience a milder case when they are on air Flights traveling from west to east.

Passengers can fly north to south, or south to north, for thousands of miles without experiencing any jet lag. But as soon as the pilot of the airplane starts flying in an east to west direction and crosses more than one or two time zones, they can be afflicted.

Passengers will not generally experience any symptoms until after they leave their Flights. That's when their biological clocks will start to make internal adjustments inside their bodies to coincide more closely with the local timezone at their destination. When air passengers cross one, or even two timezones, their bodies can usually adjust very quickly. However, when travelers are in poor health or not feeling well before their flights, the problem can be compounded.

The following information may lessen the effects of jet lag after Flights.

If you can, try to catch Flights that arrive at your vacation destination in daylight hours. When you land, immediately fit in with the new timezone and do not go to bed. If you're feeling tired and want to take a little snooze, do it in a well lighted place.

In the evening, sleep in a darkened room as the darkness will help prepare your brain for sleep.

You should also avoid looking at television or computer screens as they are bright and have high frequencies that can easily over-stimulate your brain.

Until your jet lag symptoms subside, do not consume alcohol or any drinks such as coffee and soda that contain caffeine, as it can disrupt your sleep.

To help you adjust to the time zone at your destination, you may want to consider taking a melatonin tablet or capsule (as many air travelers do) in the early evening (your time). You might still have to take a melatonin for the next three or four evenings in a row before you go to bed in this new location to help you readjust your biological clock. If you not taken melatonin before, you should ask your doctor or local pharmacist for more information in regards to the suggested dosage.

We hope this will help you on your long distance
