Do you have any experience with Jet Lag? Do know what causes it?
Jet Lag causes by the difference in time that occurs when we cross the time zones. we all have the internal clock that determines when we should sleep, wake up, eat, or perform other bodily functions during the twenty-four-hour periode. so most travelers are not able to adjust to shorter or longer day.

Jet Lag worse after a flight east than it is after a flight west, because most peolpe can adjust a little better to a longer day than they can to a shorter day. it's also true that people over thirty who tend to have a more established routine are likely suffer the most from jet lag.

How can we deal with Jet Lag?
The most intersting research on how to minimize the effects of jet lag are those are those that show the value of shceduling an early evening arrival. Can you imagine why that might be helpfull? it is because we probably just go to bed. this is also some evidence that light plays a role in accommodating a new sleep cycle.
in addition, it seems that a full stomatch increase the symthoms of restlessness and fatigue. in fact eating a samll meal on the plane should help as long as you don't find the nearest restaurant when you land.
finally, alchohol tends to dehyrate the body, which appers make the jet lag worse. so that is why it is better to drink a lots of water and avoid drinking alcohol on the plane.

how long it take to adjust to a new time zone?
we required a half a day for each time zone crossed, so if you can't include a stopover on a long flight, it is better not to schedule an important meeting for the day you arrival.
