Welcome to jet-lag season. “I’m a zombie the first four or five days,” said one traveler. Here's what you need to know if you're about to depart or return from that long summer trip.
Jet lag, as common as the common cold, abounds this time of year as travelers take long-haul summer vacations. And like a tough-to-shake cold, it often produces crankiness, insomnia and a foggy, cotton-headed funk.“I’m a zombie the first four or five days I travel,” said Chris Baiz of Los Angeles. “Tried everything. I wake up at 1 or 2 a.m. and then lie there awake.”
What’s the answer? Medical professionals and avid long-distance travelers recommend heavy hydration and advocate quickly adopting the meal times and sleep patterns of your destination. Instead of watching movies or reading, Winters favors sleeping on planes when traveling himself, particularly on overnight flights. “I might take an Ambien or melatonin. I don’t do both.”
Body clocks are tricky timepieces, and tough to reset quickly, experts said. During jet lag, brain cells in two parts of the brain fall out of sync. The health journalsaid the older the traveler, the worse the symptoms and the longer it takes to recover. “I drink water the minute I get off the plane,” said Mary Garripoli of Los Angeles. “For the first 24 hours, just water, no ice tea, no wine. When I come home, it’s the same thing.”
