10 Tips to Beat Jet Lag

How to Beat Jet Lag and Sleep Better While Travelling

Jet lag occurs when our internal body clock is disrupted by our environment, which impacts sleep patterns, food cravings and mood. Light exposure plays a huge part in jet lag. Essentially, the amount of sunlight we get a day helps our bodies stay in balance through our internal clocks - otherwise known as ‘circadian rhythms’. Although this gradually changes throughout the seasons, a drastic change (e.g. changing time zone from one country to another) will disrupt your internal clock, thus causing jet lag.

While temporary, jet lag can dampen the first few days of a holiday; or, even worse, make the return home that little bit harder to swallow.

Luckily, there are steps you can take to avoid the chance of jet lag before, during and after your travels.
