Acclimatization or a newfangled jetlag

How do I get used to changing the time zone after long-distance flights?

What is it

Acclimatization is the process of adapting to the changed conditions of an organism in a new time zone or climate. Symptoms may include nausea, headache, and fatigue.

Jetlag is a similar process, but related exclusively to long—distance flight. This word came from English and was originally closely associated with flights from America to Europe.

Both terms are closely related and are sometimes used as the same thing.

What to do

On the plane

When flying long distances, consider your direction relative to parts of the world.

If you are flying East, you will arrive at a later time than at your place of departure.

When flying West, you will most likely arrive within the same day as you took off at your place of departure.

Important: when buying tickets, calculate your arrival time.

Don't forget the pillows and blankets. Be sure to buy water at duty-free and stock up on TV shows for the long journey.

Upon arrival

You have traveled thousands of kilometers and you can't wait to explore a new region.

Take your time, look for remedies for headaches and fever. For some travelers, the body does not immediately get used to a different climate and time zone.

This point is especially important if you arrived in the morning and did not sleep on the plane.

Restrain the desire to fall asleep until the evening, so that you can come to your senses and wake up the next morning at a convenient time.

What then

You haven't finished your trip yet or you've already returned home.

Sudden change of time zones causes stress in the body and loss of time.

Because of this, during the trip and for some time after returning, you may wake up in a different time zone.

Control your condition and travel in joy.
