5. Jet Lag
The primary cause of jet lag is the difference in time schedules between your departure and destination locales. By getting yourself on the destination schedule before you arrive, you can quickly and easily adjust to the new time zone. Essentially, that entails getting yourself on the destination sleep/wake schedule during your journey before you even arrive. Set your watch to your destination time when you board the plane and act as if you are in that time zone.
Dehydration, poor blood circulation, lack of sleep and stress are some other factors that contribute to jet lag. As a result, any super-long vacation should include a few more strategies to assist avoid jet lag or limit its effects if you don’t manage to avoid it entirely.
