When you fly across several time zones, you disrupt the body’s circadian rhythms. The condition of jet lag may last many days, and recovery rates of 1 day per eastward time zone or 1 day per 1.5 westward time zones. Symptoms are headaches, fatigue, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea and mild depression.[1]
To ease jet lag, you should avoid drinking alcohol during flight, limit caffeine, drink plenty of water and take melatonin 0.3 to 0.5mg.
