5 Ways to Conquer Jet Lag

You’ve been planning and looking forward to your trip for months, and your itinerary is packed full of things you want to do, but when you get there, you find yourself feeling sluggish and sleep deprived.

Jet lag, or circadian dysrhythmia, is a temporary sleep disorder where your body’s internal clock isn’t in sync with your new time zone. It can have you nodding off over coffee and croissants in Paris, or struggling to sleep the night before an important meeting.

Your trip doesn’t have to be a nightmare! We’ve put together 5 hacks to ease the pain of crossing time zones and help you beat jet lag once and for all.

There are several apps available that will help you adjust to new time zones and beat jet lag, like TimeShifter. The app will help you pick the best time to fly, tell you when to sleep, when to caffeinate, and when to avoid or seek out light.

When fighting jet lag, you can find yourself in a brain fog, so it’s best to organise your currency before you go too. Buying foreign cash is simple, with the option to purchase online and collect at your nearest Travelex store or at your local Australia Post office before you leave. Alternatively, you can load select currencies directly onto your Travelex Money Card online or via our app for our very best rates.
