When you are traveling and it means that you have to go across many time zones it can really affect your body. Your body clock gets confused as to what time it is and this feeling is commonly known as jet lag.

When you get to feel like this it is as though you have just been given strong medication or you have had a heavy drinking session and it is commonly referred to as jet lag but according to some of the experts it is possible to ease the effects of jet lag when you are traveling like this.

About 4 days before you are due to depart on your flight you could start shifting your bedtime by about 1 hour per night. If you are going Eastbound then you should move your bedtime forward 1 hour per night. Likewise if you are traveling westbound then move the bedtime back 1 hour.

But by doing this you must also alter your times for waking up. In other words if you go to bed 1 hour earlier then you should in fact rise 1 hour earlier. The same goes for going to bed 1 hour later you will have to get up 1 hour later.

When the time comes for your flight you should then alter your watch to the time that you will be on when you finally reach your destination. By using this time you will be getting your mind accustomed to the new time. You can then proceed to do the things that you would normally do at that particular time, for instance eat when your watch tells you it is meal time.

Likewise if your watch is telling you that it is bedtime you should try to sleep as usual. During your flight it is better to keep well hydrated by having lots to drink as long as you discount coffee and alcohol in this drinking.

When you finally arrive at your planned destination it is important that you do not take a nap no matter how tired you are. You have to try to keep on going until your new time zone bedtime or at least as close as you can to this new bedtime.

Being out in the sun can help your body to adjust better. But if you are so tired that you really must have a nap then do not have any longer than an hour as this will delay the chances of getting over the jet lag.

Besides how to ease jet lag, this author also frequently shares writing about decorative bed pillow and blankets and throws.
