ASTRONAUTS, Olympic athletes and F1 drivers all swear by this one trick to avoid jet lag.<\/p>\n
Experts say holidaymakers should use an app to stop your circadian rhythm, or body clock, from being thrown out of sync when you cross time zones.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The free app – called Timeshifters – creates personalised lifestyle plans that aim to reduce the impact of jet lag.<\/p>\n
Plans are generated based on sleeping patterns, personal preferences, and itineraries.<\/p>\n
And its based on the latest circadian neuroscience which was developed by working with NASA<\/span> astronauts, Formula 1 drivers and Olympic athletes.<\/p>\n The app tells users when they need to see things like bright light and avoid caffeine.<\/p>\n Because these factors can be difficult to manage before a trip, the app provides bespoke timings.<\/p>\n A statement on the Timeshifter website read: "The only way to reduce jet lag is by shifting your circadian clock, and the timing of light exposure and light avoidance is key."<\/p>\n The experts explained that using melatonin (a hormone used for sleeping problems) can shift your body clock even faster, but only when you time the light correctly.<\/p>\n But if the light exposure timing is wrong, it can make jet lag worse.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the travel experts at viewfromthewing.com have revealed their best tips for avoiding jetlag too.<\/p>\n The main advice from the experts is to adjust to the local time when you board the plane.<\/p>\n They suggest eating and sleeping as if it's the time at your destination from the moment you board.<\/p>\n Another expert has recommended adjusting to a new time zone the day before you fly.<\/p>\nMORE ON JET LAG<\/h2>\n
