Jet lag can turn an exciting cosmetic surgery journey into a challenge, especially for those traveling across multiple time zones and with limited time. Fatigue, disrupted sleep, and irritability can dampen both your procedure and recovery. Managing jet lag effectively is essential, particularly when every moment counts on a short trip.
At Asthetica, we understand the importance of optimising your travel and recovery experience. By wrapping world-class cosmetic procedures into luxury holiday packages, we aim to make your journey as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, jet lag included.
Jet lag occurs when your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, struggles to align with a new time zone. The abrupt change in light and dark cycles disrupts sleep, leaving you feeling off-balance. Symptoms like insomnia, daytime fatigue, headaches, and irritability can complicate what should be an exciting and rejuvenating journey.
Practical Tips for Managing Jet Lag
Rest is vital for healing, and jet lag can compromise your recovery. Disrupted sleep patterns affect energy levels, slow healing, and can even lead to complications if post-operative care is neglected. Recovery should be a time of relaxation, and managing jet lag ensures you’re well-rested to heal effectively.
Pre-Travel Preparation
-
Adjust Your Sleep Schedule
Gradually shift your sleep and wake times to match your destination’s time zone a few days before departure. Small changes can help your body acclimatise, especially if you are limited to time. -
Hydrate Well
Dehydration exacerbates jet lag. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight while avoiding alcohol and caffeine.
During Your Flight
-
Move Around
Gentle stretching and short walks during the flight improve circulation, reduce fatigue, and keep you feeling energised. -
Opt for Restful Activities
Use the flight to relax—listen to calming music, read, or sleep if it aligns with your destination’s time zone.
Upon Arrival
-
Expose Yourself to Natural Light
Daylight helps reset your internal clock. Spend time outdoors during the day and avoid bright screens in the evening to ease into your new schedule. -
Stick to Local Time
Eat, sleep, and engage in activities according to your destination’s time zone from the moment you arrive. Short naps (no longer than 30 minutes) can help if you’re exhausted.
