Distances

• Travel lovers like exploring faraway places,
  especially those located away from the buzz of
  city life. But reaching these destinations may
  take a lot of time and require you to cover a
  long distance. Since this may lead to jet
  lagging, here is a list of some basic steps to
  prevent this from happening. Lets have a look!

• What is jet lagging?
• Jet legging is a sleep problem that may affect
  anyone travelling across several time zones. It
  occurs when the bodys internal clock gets out of
  sync with the cues from nature. It may include
  signals like exposure to light and eating times.
  When jet-lagged, people experience symptoms like
  nausea and exhaustion. It might affect their mood
  and make them feel unwell.
• Flyers typically experience signs of jet-lagging
  within a day or two of travel time. The longer
  the distance covered, the more severe the signs
  will be.

• Tips to prevent jet legging
• Get enough sleep 
• The day before your flight is scheduled, get
  ample sleep. The more sleep-deprived you are
  before starting the journey, the more severe will
  be the jet lag symptoms. So, if you have a late
  night or early morning flight from IGI airport to
  a faraway destination, maybe instead of ruining
  your sleep the day before, book the Delhi Airport
  Hotel and get enough rest before your departure.

• Arrive early at the destination 
• When travelling across time zones because you
  have an event to attend, arrive early at the
  destination. It would be ideal to have a day or
  two to acclimate your body to the time zone of
  the place you went to.
• Adjust your routine
• When travelling East, it is advised to change
  your sleep schedule accordingly. Try sleeping an
  hour or two early a few days before your
  departure. And, if flying West, get to bed an
  hour or two later than you typically do.

• Regulate light exposure
• One of the main reasons for a disrupted sleep
  cycle is light exposure. Thus, when trying to a
  westward location, adjust your body to the
  later-than-usual time zone by exposing yourself
  to the morning light. It will help you adjust to
  the earlier time zone quickly.
• Drink plenty of water
• Since dehydration can worsen the case of leg-lag,
  drink ample water during, before, and after your
  flight. It will counteract the dehydrating
  effects of the cabin area. Besides drinking
  water, avoiding alcohol and caffeine consumption
  is also not recommended.
• Stay on time schedule
• Set your routine in accordance with the time
  schedule of your destination. Once you have
  reached there, sleep at the local nighttime.
  Also, try to consume meals as per the time
  schedule of the destination, as it will help you
  adjust faster.
