Tips for International Students – How to Avoid Jet Lag?

When you are traveling for more than 20 hours to U.S., Europe you stand a good chance of being caught by jet lag.

Following tips will reduce your jet lagged time.

• Drink lots of water.
• Stretch your legs, arms, go for a walk in-flight.
• Avoid alcohol on the plane.
• Avoid caffeinated beverages as much as possible.
• Drink Orange juice and keep hydrated.

Based on your flight arrival time in U.S. or Europe adjust your sleeping time in the flight.

Suppose you are arriving between 6 am to Noon, make sure you don’t sleep during your first flight out of India (say Ho Chi Minh City to Europe). Since, you will be boarding your flight at mid-night (mostly), it will be difficult, but worth the try.

Sleep well during your next flight. After you reach your final destination, don’t go to bed. Try to stay awake till 8 PM. If you go to bed say around 3 PM or 4PM, for sure, you will have jet lagged for few days.

Good luck.
