Jet Lag is a temporary sleep disorder that affects travellers who cross multiple time zones. It disrupts your body’s internal clock, leading to symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, and difficulty concentrating.
The main symptoms of Jet Lag are:
Jet lag can also sometimes cause indigestion, feeling sick (nausea), constipation, changes in appetite and mild anxiety.
Jet lag is caused by a disruption in your body’s circadian rhythm, which is your internal clock that regulates sleep-wake cycles. When you travel across time zones, your body takes time to adjust to the new schedule. The greater the number of time zones crossed, the more severe the jet lag can be.
The duration of jet lag varies but it typically lasts a few days to a week. The general rule is that it takes about one day to recover for each time zone crossed. For eastward travel the recovery time can be longer.
Jet lag treatments often include medications that help regulate sleep-wake cycles by influencing the production of the hormone responsible for sleep. These treatments help your body adjust more quickly to the new time zone, reducing symptoms like insomnia and fatigue.
The common side effects of jet lag treatment may include:
These side effects are usually mild and subside as your body adjusts to the treatment.
Jet lag treatment should be used for the duration of your symptoms, usually a few days. It’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceeded the recommended use period.
If you have other health conditions, it’s crucial to consult with a doctor before using jet lag treatment. There are certain medications that may interact with your treatment, affecting its efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects.
It is generally advisable to avoid alcohol while using jet lag treatment as it can exacerbate side effects like dizziness and drowsiness. It can also disrupt sleep, counteracting the benefits of the treatment.
If you miss a dose of your jet lag treatment, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s close to your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. You should never double up on doses.
Yes, you can travel frequently while using jet lag treatment, but it is important to consult with a doctor if you’re regularly crossing time zones. A different strategy for jet lag treatment may be required for effective long-term use.
The best time to take jet lag treatment is typically in the evening or before bed, depending on your travel schedule. This timing helps align your sleep-wake cycle with the new time zone.
Jet lag treatment may affect your mood, particularly if it causes side effects like drowsiness or dizziness. However, these effects are usually temporary. If you experience significant mood changes, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
You’ll know your jet lag treatment is working when your symptoms, such as insomnia and fatigue, start to improve. It may take a day or two to notice significant changes.
While using jet lag treatment, avoid consuming alcohol, operating heavy machinery, or taking other medications without consulting a doctor or pharmacist. These can increase the side effects or reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
