Strategies to Combat Jet Lag

Jet lag is primarily caused by a disturbance in the circadian rhythm of gut bacteria, which can lead to a variety of symptoms like exhaustion and digestive issues after long flights. To mitigate these effects, it is suggested to adjust your sleep schedule a few days prior to the trip, preparing your body to wake up during the actual departure time. Avoiding alcohol the night before flying can enhance the quality of sleep, thus reducing the likelihood of jet lag. Additionally, keeping all travel documents organized ahead of time ensures a smoother travel experience without added stress.
