JET LAG MANAGEMENT AT FIRSTCONTACT PHARMACY

Overcome Jet Lag and Stay Energised While Travelling

Jet lag, also known as desynchronosis, is a common condition that occurs when your body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) is disrupted due to rapid travel across multiple time zones. It can cause fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and cognitive impairment, making it challenging to adjust to a new schedule. At FirstContact Pharmacy, we offer expert advice and effective solutions to help you minimise jet lag symptoms and adjust quickly to your destination's time zone.

Symptoms of Jet Lag

Jet lag symptoms vary depending on the number of time zones crossed, direction of travel, and individual sensitivity. Common symptoms include:
✅ Difficulty falling asleep or staying awake
✅ Daytime fatigue and drowsiness
✅ Difficulty concentrating or brain fog
✅ Irritability or mood changes
✅ Digestive issues (constipation, diarrhoea, bloating)
✅ Reduced physical performance and coordination

Symptoms are usually more severe when travelling eastward since it shortens the day, making it harder for the body to adjust.

How to Prevent and Manage Jet Lag

  • Gradual Time Adjustment – A few days before travel, shift your sleeping and eating schedule closer to your destination’s time zone.
  • Stay Hydrated – Dehydration worsens jet lag symptoms, so drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine or alcohol.
  • Melatonin Supplements – Taking melatonin before bedtime at your destination may help reset your body clock.
  • Exposure to Natural Light – Sunlight is the most powerful regulator of circadian rhythms. Spend time outdoors upon arrival to help your body adjust.
  • Strategic Napping – Short naps (20–30 minutes) can help combat tiredness without interfering with nighttime sleep.
