What is Jetlag
Jetlag is a syndrome of jet lag when the body is not can adapt to the new daily norms. Of course if you fly from Moscow to Prague, the difference will be only 2 hours and you can’t experience no apparent inconvenience. Although psychologists believe that even an hour of difference somehow affects a person, like mini stress
However, when you fly to Thailand from Moscow, the difference will be already 4 hours and this may be enough to fall out of a couple of days normal life. With Israel, the difference would be 5 hours, with some European countries 6 hours. Considering that very often similar the flights are nocturnal, and not everyone can sleep while sitting in an airplane You can beat out the biorhythms decently. Yes, it all depends a particular person, he is susceptible to such things or not.
For example, only major changes noticeably affect me, such as 4 and more hours and night flights / transfers. I sweat a day I come, trying to rebuild a new time zone (time to go sleep and wake up in time), sleep and rest.
But my son begins notable sausage, can not sleep then all night and be naughty. It is sometimes difficult with small children. agree, especially, they do not understand why they do not sleepy.
Jetlag Tablets
The easiest option is to drink a melatonin capsule. In Russia he still sold in pharmacies called Melaxen, only a few times more expensive. I buy out of habit on iHerb, so it turns out much cheaper and then enough for years.
This is not some serious medicine or sleeping pills, no. it hormone regulating daily rhythms, a dietary supplement that sold over the counter in almost all countries. Harmless thing. Even, on the contrary, it has a number of useful properties, such as antioxidant or antitumor effect, that is prevents aging. I do not think that it is worth taking it with for this purpose, but with a jetlag can help.
Jetla tablets, carry a small jar with me
I always keep it close at hand, because sometimes I can’t fall asleep and without flights, but simply because of the excitement before the trip, or waiting for an interesting event the next day. When a bunch of thoughts in head and they climb hard in the head and climb. I usually always helps. But he can hardly help people with serious sleep disorders.
So it is not a sleeping pill, it does not put to sleep at all. Can be easy drink it and then sit out all night at the laptop, the capsule is not will work. As you know, melatonin is produced in the body human when it’s dark and not when the white light hits the eyes screen.
