Tips to follow to better withstand the jet lag:
Jet lag is often tough when we go to a destination that represents a gap of more than 6 hours. It is therefore recommended that, before our departure, take care of us: adequate sleep, avoid alcohol, tobacco etc.
It is important to drink when you are on the plane (plenty of water) even if you are not really thirsty. Sleep or let our body relax is very important. Do not hesitate to use a special pillow for the neck, small plugs for the ears and a blindfold for the eyes. It is preferable to rest instead of watching all the films and reports in the plane. When you arrived at your destination, it is important to integrate immediately to the local rhythm; otherwise you may feel the jet lag for several days.
Finally, you need to be conditioned mentally, by saying that the gap does not really touch you and you manage to function well.
