A CLEVER seven-day jet lag calculator will always stop you feeling tired on holiday.
Everyone dreads the symptoms associated with travelling through different time zones.
Travellers are often left unable to sleep , which leads to a hungover feeling which can last for days.
Some people complain of confusion which stops them from working properly when back in the office.
Fortunately a host of apps and website have now emerged, offering advice to travellers on how to reduce jet lag.
Hillarys Jet Lag is an online calculator set up to help passengers swerve jetlag.
All passengers have to do is to enter their details, and let the calculator do the rest.
The website uses an algorithm to generate a plan for each passenger by recommending a series of sleep times. The website also advises travellers on when they should expose themselves to natural light.
The website explains: “Exposure to light is the trigger that lets you move your body clock. Basically, light tells your body it’s time to be alert; dark calms your body.
“So you have to carefully follow your plan to get over jet lag quickly. Or else you could send your body clock the wrong signals and make your symptoms worse.
“At the times shown in your plan, you should seek sunshine or strong artificial light. And you should avoid light by closing your blinds or wearing sunglasses.”
Meanwhile, the travel experts at viewfromthewing.com have revealed their best tips for avoiding jetlag too.
The main advice from the experts is to adjust to the local time when you board the plane.
They suggest eating and sleeping as if it’s the time at your destination from the moment you board.
Another expert has recommended adjusting to a new time zone the day before you fly.
