What is Jet Lag?

Jet lag is a temporary circadian rhythm disorder experienced when your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, is out of sync. It is marked by disrupted sleep patterns, daytime fatigue and cognitive impairment after crossing three or more time zones.

Effective jet lag treatment and prevention strategies are essential for travellers to maintain productivity and wellbeing. We offer personalised jet lag treatment helping you overcome jet lag quickly so you enjoy every moment of your journey.

Symptoms of Jet Lag

Risk Factors of Jet Lag

Number of Time Zones Crossed

The more time zones you cross, the greater the disruption to your circadian rhythm. Eastward travel (e.g., UK to Asia) usually causes more severe jet lag than westward travel.

Frequency of Travel

People who travel frequently, such as business travellers and airline crew, are more prone to persistent jet lag symptoms.

Age

Older adults may experience more intense or longer-lasting jet lag compared to younger travellers, as the body’s internal clock becomes less adaptable with age.

Pre-existing Sleep Disorders

People with insomnia, irregular sleep schedules, or other sleep conditions are more vulnerable to jet lag.

Stress & Lifestyle Factors

Poor diet, alcohol consumption, dehydration, and lack of physical activity during travel can worsen symptoms.
