Jet lag or fatigue due to time zone difference. This is truly a nightmare for travelers when flying far away. Your body has its own "biological clock", signaling when to wake up and when to sleep. Jet lag occurs when your internal body clock is still in Vietnam while your body is in Australia, the US, Canada...
Jet lag can cause fatigue and lack of alertness. Gastrointestinal problems such as loss of appetite or cravings at the wrong times. Jet lag is temporary, but it can take a lot of time out of your vacation.
Here are some tips that can help you improve your jet lag:
Get enough sleep before your flight
You should sleep before the flight to recharge your body when flying across many time zones. This will help us limit jet lag when we arrive at our destination.
Limited landing time options in the evening
When you arrive in the morning, you will be in a better mood to go out instead of having to return to your hotel room in the evening feeling lethargic and feeling the jet lag more clearly.
No alcohol on the flight
Alcoholic drinks dehydrate the body, which can lead to jet lag. It is best to stick to water and fruit juice to keep your body hydrated.
Do not abuse sleeping pills
Sleeping pills do not help you feel better on long flights. They can even make you feel dizzy and lightheaded when landing. If you need to sleep, sleep naturally. To be sure, you should bring tea bags that help you sleep, such as chamomile tea, rose tea, and mix them with hot water available on the plane.
Sleep on the plane in the new time zone
Let your body get used to the new time zone by sleeping if it's nighttime at your destination, or staying awake if it's daytime at your destination.
Access to adequate lighting
Light is one of the main influences that affects your body's circadian rhythm. Exposure to light in the evening helps you adjust to a later time zone than usual, while exposure to light in the morning can help you adjust to an earlier time zone.
Eat right meals according to the new time zone
Eat on time, don’t skip meals! Try to eat small meals to help your digestive system adjust to the new meal times. This will help make the jet lag less severe.
