Complications / Issues
If you are frequently changing time zone or working long hours or shifts, you do start working at only 60 to 70% of your potential. You lose concentration, you lose judgment, you lose reaction.
Treatment
The state of Jet Lag generally lasts up to a few days or more, depending on the person, and medical experts have deemed that a recovery rate of "one day per time zone" is a reasonable guideline.
Sleep, relaxation, moderate exercise, and sensible diet seem to be the simplest recovery activities.
Good sleep hygiene practices also promote rapid recovery from Jet Lag:

Random Sleeping Tip |
 |
| Our day-to-day life is full of stress with so many responsibilities that we need to manage every single day. The stress just causes us to think a lot on different things, so it is really important to have a time in a day where we are able to destress ourselves as much as we can and it would be best that we put this time before we sleep. So we can listen to the music, read the book of our choice or meditate to relieve stress. Relieving stress will relax you a lot and then you would be able to sleep without much resistance offered by your thoughts. |
- Exercise regularly (but not too close to bedtime)
- Ensure that they get enough sleep
- Keep a regular sleep diary
- Reducing stress levels in their lives
- Exposure to sunlight is a factor that helps reset the body's clock.
For people who don't fly multiple times per week, it can be an effective non-drug remedy to skip sleep entirely for one night and one day and then go to bed at a normal destination-area bedtime on the next day.
Prevention
-
Simple prevention from Jet Lag can be achieved by ensuring that you get a good sleep aboard your flight and drink lots of fluid (but not coffee or alcohol) to reduce the effects of dehydration on the body, caused by the dry air at altitude and the interruption of regular eating/drinking patterns.
-
Seasoned travelers set their clock to their destination's time zone as soon as practical and join the new rhythm.
