Jet lag seems to be the gift that keeps on giving, especially if you traveled halfway across the world. It tends to hang around for about 1 to 1½ days for every time zone you go across—so, if you flew over 12 different time zones, it’ll take at least 12 days before you feel back to your old self again.[1]
Traveling from west to east can also make your jet lag a little more challenging, since your body’s internal clock is losing hours instead of gaining them.[2]
There’s no need to worry, though! We’ve put together plenty of tips, tricks, and precautions to help you cope with jet lag after you land, throughout your flight, and even before you take off.
This article is based on an interview with our travel specialist, Greg Guiteras, CEO of Lorraine Travel, LLC. Check out the full interview here.
