Alright! You've put on a loose and comfy pair of clothes, oiled your nostrils and that of your kids, arrived at airport with an hour and a half still to go, and DECIDED that this time you're NOT indulging in in-flight meals and drinks. Is there anything else that we should consider?? Think hard. What have you found?? Nothing? Maybe you didn't get a good sleep last night and so you think you'll take a nap during the flight, yes? But that's what you should avoid!
Stay Awake, Don't Doze Off!
Most experts warn against sleeping on the plane. It's important that we adjust our sleep cycle from jetlag, not duirng the day, but at night. So, one must avoid sleeping during the flight if it arrives at night. True, you might be tired after landing. But it would a lot easier to hit the sack and wake up afresh, no?
More Oxygen
If you think your cabin is getting stuffy, ask your flight attendant to request the pilot for "less recirculated air, and more fresh air". If it's still stuffy, request an oxygen bottle.
Consider Exercises
We all know that exercise is vital for steady blood circulation. But on board, the importance much higher. You don't have to pump the irons! Just do some easy stuff like contracting and relaxing the muscles, or just get up and walk around the cabin. It's nothing embarrasing.
Goodbye Cocktails!
Never!!?? Oy, it's only for the flight. Yes, Alcohol and coffee dehydrates the body, which in turn prolongs jetlag. So, we gottta avoid alcohol and live on WATER. Besides, cabin air is so dry that it will just put the Sahara and Atacama to shame! Water is the Word!
Happy Flying!!
