Here are another 5 tips for fighting jet lag:

6. Check with your pharmacist about over-the-counter medications that
can help to fight jet lag. However, consult your physician prior to
taking such medications.

7. Upon arriving at your destination, you may want to take a nap.
However, try not to go to bed before 11 p.m. Make every attempt to
adjust to the local time in terms of meals and sleep patterns.

8. Keeping yourself awake while in-flight can actually help to
decrease jet lag if you would normally be up at that time rather than
sleeping. Get up frequently and walk up and down the aisle. You can
also do isometric exercises in your seat to help keep your blood
flowing.

9. If you need to take medications at fixed times of the day, consult
with physician about the times you should take them while in a
different time zone, to ensure a steady stream of medicine in your
blood stream. Don’t forget to also adjust yourself accordingly once
you get home.

10. Allow your body to adjust itself to the new time zone. Take it
easy when you reach the new destination, resting when you feel
fatigued, and drinking plenty of water.

Jetlag can really spoil a trip, or make your return home from vacation
an exhausting one. Hopefully these tips will help you beat jet lag.
