I shared some of my tips about how I defeated Jet and wake up in another country light -eyed and bushy tail (also during the fly of the economy).
Hello friends! How are you doing? I hope you enjoy the week! I have another day full of calls, but I’m looking forward to going live in our detoxification group today – just a head -up, Protocols are a 20% discount this week. including detoxification.
While I’m sitting at my desk here, I definitely have the travel error (again). I read somewhere that it is a kind of trauma answer that we have to travel all the time, but we will just ignore this MMM K? I wanted to be a contribution about jet and write some of the things that helped me and thought it was a good day to share.
Jet always ruined every trip for me. I would land again somewhere, ready to explore, but my body would be in a different time zone: at 3 a.m. wide awake and crashed in the afternoon. Over the years (and many international flights later), I tested dozens of strategies to find out what actually works. Now I can jump over time zones and adapt quickly without losing valuable days against brain fog and exhaustion.
Here is my routine for the delay of zero.
How to travel without jet lag
Start before you fly
The secret to beat the Jet is to prepare before you even get on the plane. A few days before traveling, I start to shift my sleep plan by waking up a little earlier (or later, depending on my goal). Even a 30-minute adjustment per day can make a big difference as soon as you land. Before our last Spanish trip I woke up early (5 and 4:30 a.m.) and it was great to actually be tired on the plane.
Another tool I love is that Timeshifter app (not sponsored or connected, I just love it).It creates a personalized schedule based on your flight data and sleep patterns and tells you exactly when you are looking for light, avoid caffeine or make a short nap. The app was created with input by sleep scientists and astronauts (!), Which deal with extreme circadian rhythm shifts. The first travel plan is free and completely changed my trips. The naturopathy of the girls told us about it and it was incredible.
Smart Sleep Support
Sometimes a little more help is far.
Melatonin (low dose) – I use it economical to signal my body that it is time to sleep. It is my point of contact for a reset when I’m on the go, especially because the hotel can be difficult. It was a total gamuchanger for me.
Magnesium oil or spray – Applying before going to bed helps my muscles to relax and support them deeper.
Sleep mask + Earplug -darkness and calm are not negotiators. A good mask and high-quality earplugs when imitation of the night, even if it is bright and loud on the plane.
Blue bright blocking glasses – I have real darkness and bothers Vivarays And love them both.
Travel pillow + Ceiling – If I can rest on the plane for a few hours, the setting is more smooth.
Light, movement and caffeine
As soon as I landed, I treat light like medicine. Light sunlight is one of the strongest signals to reset your circadian rhythm. I try to spend at least 20 to 30 minutes outside in the morning and walk barefoot on grass if you have the chance.
Caffeine can also be more ally if it is used strategically. I usually avoid caffeine, but a morning coffee or a matcha can increase the wake -up signal. I would not recommend having it after noon because it can affect the bedtime. Movement also helps. Even a brisk walk or stretching session helps the circulation and helps your body to adapt.
As soon as you land, you are in this time zone. Don’t think of the time you come. It will only lie with you. Also try to avoid naps when you can. Try to fight the good fight until bedtime. If you have to make a nap, make it a short katnap and make yourself immediately after sunshine and exploration.
My routine without planning
Stay hydrated (but not overloaded – aircraft baths are not fun).
Skip alcohol and severe meals.
Get up and move in the first few hours (until I go to sleep)
Wear blue bright blockers while waiting for the meal to be served
Eat dinner and then I have a melatonin and then shine out
Use my sleeping kit: mask, earplugs, magnesium spray, pillow, blanket.
Remember that you are still resting, even if you don’t sleep immediately. Keep your eyes closed, meditate and use the time to switch off your brain and rest your body, even if you don’t sleep. I think if you put pressure on yourself under pressure under pressure, it feels stressful, but just put your sleep mask on and tell yourself whether it happens, great, but if not, I will just rest. In the end I fall asleep almost every time. (I know that the children have eaten in dinner and are satisfied and happy, and I only tell them that they should wake me up when they need me. I brought them into our last long trip to the women’s room a few times and was able to fall quickly afterwards.)
These little rituals make the difference between the feeling of feeling like a zombie when I end up and to be ready.
Why does that work
Jet Lag is essentially a circadian rhythm. The “inner clock” of your body is not in synchronization with your surroundings. By using strategic light, sleepers and intelligent nutritional supplements, you can teach your body to adapt faster. Apps like Timeshifter make it easier to get it even easier by receiving a plan supported by science that is tailored to your journey.
Travel is to be enjoyed; Not spent fighting your own sleep. With some preparations, intelligent sleeping tools and lifestyle optimizations, you can minimize or even remove jet lag.
And here is my bonus tip: While vibrating plates or trendy wellness hacks attract attention, I find the simple, consistent tools – such as sunlight, sleep support and fluid intake – what really supports me, no matter where we are.
Let me know if you try these tips! Any jet lag tips that you would add to the list?
