Treatment Options
Jet lag occurs when your body’s internal clock is out of sync with the time zone you are in. This can happen due to long-haul flights, particularly when crossing multiple time zones, leading to disruptions in sleep patterns, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Factors such as age, travel direction, and the number of time zones crossed can also influence the severity of symptoms.
Treatment for jet lag can be beneficial in alleviating symptoms and helping your body adjust to a new time zone. Strategies may include adjusting your sleep schedule before travel, staying hydrated, and using light exposure to reset your internal clock. Consulting a prescriber can provide personalised recommendations to manage your symptoms effectively.
