Business Travel Tip # 3 - Jet Lag Cures and Remedies

As a business traveler, you know how frustrating jet lag symptoms can be. Everyone is effected by jet lag differently, and it is completely conquerable. By finding the perfect jet lag cure for your body and mind, you'll never be that sleepy executive again! Here are some of our favorite remedies:

Noise Cancelling Headphones - you just can't leave home without them. They are especially helpful if you are stuck on a plane full of crying kids on the way to Orlando! This pair of Bose QuietComfort noise cancelling headphones is completely worth the investment considering how many hours of sleep you'll gain. Choose the Right Flight - the best flight to choose to avoid jet lag is the one that lands in the early evening around 5pm - 7pm. When you arrive at your destination, try to stay awake until 10pm local time. More Sunlight - experts from the National Sleep Foundation say that daylight is a extremely powerful stimulant for regulating the biological clock. When planning your business travel, plan your itinerary so you are able to take some walks around the hotel. Healthy Eating - sure, there are hundreds of secret jet lag cure diets you could try! But who has time to try them all? Keep it simple, avoid carbs and fatty foods before (and during) your trip. These types of foods can be disruptive to sleep. Drink A LOT of Water - purchase yourself a nice big water canteen that you can take with you everywhere. I really like the Kleen Kanteen steel bottles. Stay hydrated throughout your trip by drinking water before, during and after your flight. Corporate travel can really wear you down if you're not prepared. So remember the basics: headphones, evening flight arrivals, sunlight, eat healthy, and stay hydrated for a successful and energized business trip!
