April 26th, 2007
- Tiredness, broken sleep, dehydration, leg-aches are signs of jet lag. Get enough rest the night before your flight.
- Drink water to prevent dehydration.
- Stretch yourself from your seat. Rotate your head, wrists and ankles once in a while to improve blood circulation. Move about in the cabin and along the aisles. Do these simple stretching exercises or risk getting Economy-class syndrome.

- Earplugs, neckrests, blindfolds and pillows can help you sleep better.
- Once you arrive at the destination, adapt to the local meal and sleeping times.
- The herb arnica (mountain daisy) or natural hormone melatonin can help control sleep patterns during the initial days of adjustment.
- Soak yourself in a warm bath and add a few drops of lavender upon arrival.
