  • How to Combat Jetlag
The reality of jetlag is that it takes up time: you’re sleeping when you could be exploring; you’re awake, so you lose out on sleep. While jetlag is a normal part of any grand adventure, the Emirates Cabin Crew have fantastic tips for tempering it. As experts in the sky who are constantly on the move, no one knows better than a Crew member how to combat and avoid jet lag when travelling across different time zones.
 
TIP #1: Reset your Clock
 
If you know you’ll be travelling to a country in a different time zone, start switching up your schedule a few days in advance. Change your bed time and eat your meals as if you’re already abroad. Reset your watch to the local destination time; this will help you reset your internal clock as well.
 
TIP #2: Opt for Online
Checking in online not only saves you time at the airport, but it also allows you to choose your meal onboard. On airlines like Emirates, you have a great selection of foods to choose from, so try to pick something light and healthy. This way, you’ll still be able to sleep comfortably during your flight.
 
TIP #3: Cozy Up
 
Getting comfortable while you fly is an important part of getting the rest you need to avoid jetlag when you land. Use slippers or fuzzy socks, an eye mask, ear plugs for total silence, a neck pillow and your coziest clothes, so you can catch some zees in the air and hit the ground running.
 
TIP #4: Get Energized
 
A few hours before landing, walk around and stretch as much as you can. Eat fruits and a healthy meal to restore your energy levels and fuel your body with vitamins and minerals. Drink caffeine for a boost and a use cold towel on your face to refresh. This way, you will be ready to start exploring as soon as
you land.
 
TIP #5: Explore the Outdoors
 
When you arrive at your destination, try to spend as much of the day outside as possible. Exposure to sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, so avoid dark, dim places when you can. Plus, if you stay out of the hotel room, it’s not so tempting to lay down for a nap.
