How can you get rid of jet lag in a short period of time?

Answer 1

First, drink lots of water during and just after your flight since dehydration is one of the primary causes of jet lag. Second, set your watch to the new time zone as soon as you board the plane and attempt to get your sleep schedule acclimated as quickly as possible.

Answer 2

The best is to find the time at your location and adjust your sleep pattern to it as quickly as you can. If your arrival will be close to your normal sleep period try to adjust when on the plane and sleep, this may require you to stay awake the night before at your home. Also if your a person that requires a small amount of sleep, ie: 3 or 4 hours it will be easlier for you to adjust.

Answer 3

I usually start adjusting my body clock once the plane takes off. If it's night at my destination, I make sure I try to catch some sleep; I find that it helps to just close my eyes and ignore all that's going on even if my mind is wide awake. That way, my mind's rested and ready to go when I reach my destination. If it's the other way around, then bring books, games, movies, anything to keep you entertained so that you do not go to sleep at all.

Try this. Maybe it'll work for you too.

Answer 4

The day you are flying try to get into the rhythm of the day you are traveling to. If it is sleep time during your flight, then sleep (don't watch the movies, do the crossword puzzle, or read a book)

When you arrive at your destination stay with the day (Don't sleep at 2 PM stay awake until at least 8PM). The first two days, try to get sunlight during the waking hours. If you can't get sunlight, then bright light. Wake up normal time for that day (Force yourself to be awake by 9AM and get sunshine and bright light). Get to bed by midnight.

Good Luck

Answer 5

Drink lots of water on the flight, no alcohol and when you arrive and you feel tired force yourself to stay awake and adjust automatically to the local time zone. Works for me everytime never get jetlag anymore

Answer 6

take 2 weeks off work/school. Set your watch and alll the clocks in ur house to the time zone you're going to visit. Start to eat, sleep, drink, and do various other daily activities as they would in the time zone you're visiting. Then, when you finally reach your destination. You won't need to change your watch, and your internal body clock will have adapted to the change in routine.
