The effects of jet lag on people as they are crossing time zones can be very complex, depending on the health status of the individual travelers. Travelers might start showing symptoms like headaches, irritability, irregular bowels, insomnia, etc. However, jet lag can be avoided by sticking to some activities before, during the flight. First, to avoid jet lag, you need to have a good to sleep before heading to the airport the next day.

While you may think to stay awake all night before your flight will make you sleep very well and you won't have any jet lag, this may be counterproductive as this might increase your risk of having jet lag. Sleep, exercise your body before going to the airport. Once you take off, you should know that staying hydrated will help you a lot. Dehydration will increase your risk of having jet lag, so stay hydrated. You can also use these tips if you would be embarking on a long flight.

The best way to avoid jet lag is to immediately start adapting to the time zone in which you land. That may even mean skipping a full night of sleep. If you land in a place at 6:00pm, prepare to eat dinner, even if it feels like it is time for you to eat breakfast. Then try to go to sleep after the sun goes down where you are.

This may be difficult but it is the best way to get through jet lag quickly. Long flights through multiple time zones will require some adjustment. The only sure way to avoid jet lag completely is to stay within the same time zone.
