Being a frequent traveler, I have suffered many times from
jet lag and it can really drain your energy. I have tried ways on how I can get
my body clock fixed again and I am happier to share them with you. Here are a
few things you can try the next time you’re sleeping far away from home.
1) Bring an eye mask

| Be chic and fashionable even as you sleep! |
When you’re traveling, airplanes or
hotel rooms can never provide a dark environment for you. The light is what
makes it hard for you to sleep. Always have an eye mask with you whenever you
travel.
2) Pull an all-nighter
Not for a project or reviewing for
your finals but for you to help your body adjust to the time zone. It is hard
at first (trust me) but it will pay off. The day before your flight, act as if
you have arrived to your destination. Synchronize your time with that of your
destinations’ and work with that time. You’ll be surprised that by the time you
get there, your body has already adjusted.
3) Just be cool
Feeling cool and fresh helps you get
to sleep. There would be places you’d be visiting that you’ll find yourself
tossing and turning in the middle of the night only to find out that you are
sweating. Turn on your air conditioner. If it is not available, dampen a towel
or the linens and lay it over yourself as you sleep. Yes, you’ll be wet but
amazingly, you’d be able to sleep comfortably.
4) Rise and Shine
Wake up naturally by keeping the
shades of your window open so by the time the sun rises, sunlight will fill in
your room in the morning and wake you up happily.
5) Listen to serene noise
I have this White Noise app in my
iPhone that comes in handy when I really find it hard to sleep. Just listen to
it and it has a calming effect that would relax your state of mind and can put
you to sleep. If this doesn't work, playing classical music works as well.  |
