Introduction

Jet lag – that familiar feeling of fatigue when one exits a plane after a long flight – has no established remedy. No medical application or device is yet capable of eliminating jet lag, especially considering the fact that it differs whether you travel eastwards or westwards and also depends on the number of times zones crossed (as much as 23 different time zone segments can be identified). The problem of jet lag is thus more complex than it may seem. However, if it affects you, there are many things that you can do to help beat it.

How Smart People Can Overcome Jet Lag scientifically explains the jet lag phenomenon. It then covers some easy tricks to fight jet lag, bright light, melatonin, sleeping pills and stimulants. Therefore, readers will be able to understand the reasons for jet lag and various ways to overcome it. How Smart People Can Overcome Jet Lag is a handy technical guide for anyone looking to make their air travel experiences less tiring.
