How can I effectively deal with jet lag after a long flight?

There are several strategies you can use to minimize jet lag. Have you tried adjusting your sleep schedule before your trip?

No, I usually just try to sleep on the plane. What else can I do?

In addition to adjusting your sleep schedule, staying hydrated and getting sunlight upon arrival can help reset your internal clock.

That makes sense! Should I avoid caffeine and alcohol?

Yes, it's best to limit caffeine and alcohol as they can disrupt your sleep patterns. Opt for water instead.

Thanks! How long does it usually take to recover from jet lag?

Recovery time varies, but generally, it takes about one day for each time zone crossed. So, if you crossed three time zones, expect to feel normal in about three days.
