Overcome Jet Lag: The Solution To Your Biggest Travel Problem

Anyone who has traveled across time zones knows the foggy, headachy, dragging feeling of jet lag. It isn’t very good and can interfere with productivity and enjoyment on any trip.

London jet lag

Especially if you have a somewhat limited time say, a week in London jet lag can cut into the fun of half your trip!

Jay Olson, a psychology instructor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, conducted research on jet lag.

As a result, he developed Jet Lag Rooster, a free app designed to assist travelers in gradually aligning their waking and sleeping patterns with their body’s natural circadian rhythms. Its purpose is to minimize or eliminate jet lag symptoms effectively.

The setup for Jet Lag Rooster is straightforward. You input your flight itinerary and normal sleeping pattern, specifying whether you want to begin adjusting your schedule before or after arrival. Starting before departure can be particularly beneficial for long east-traveling journeys. The app then generates a printable schedule with hour-by-hour guidelines to follow.

Jet Lag Rooster

Jet Lag Rooster uses a calculator similar to the Mayo Clinic’s sleep center to help the body naturally adjust to time changes and avoid jet lag fatigue.

When JLR prompts you to “seek light,” ideally that means sunshine, even on a cloudy day but if it’s the middle of the night in your destination city, you can also use a travel version of a full-spectrum lamp.

Likewise, if “avoiding light” is impossible, you can don sunglasses that block the blue light that has the most potent effect on the body’s clock.

If the time change is drastic, adjusting circadian rhythms can take days. It can be a little inconvenient upon arrival to, say, avoid sunlight after 2 pm in Tokyo but the reality is that the average person can only adjust their internal clock by an incremental amount of 60 to 90 minutes a day.

Attempting to adjust the body to accommodate a 13-hour time difference cannot be accomplished in one day. That is, after all, what causes jet lag in the first place.

So, does it work? According to the research, it does. And thousands of alert, savvy travelers seem to agree.

What Our Clients Say

  • Fabulous Travel Agent, Always Has A Solution For Our Travels, And Now Particularly Through These COVID Times.

    Lee-Anne has been our agent now for many years. She helped us evacuate out of Buenos Aires when there was a national strike. Lee-Anne reorganized our bookings on Emirates for us to leave NZ in March 2020 just before the world locked down. She enabled us to fly into Paris (no rules broken) in September 2020 and since then as the European world has gradually reopened helped with our bookings for flights, cruises and even a private tour to Petra in late November this year. Even though we’re in France, still, Lee-Anne is also enabling us to support other small travel businesses in Australia. We wouldn’t consider using any other travel agent for our journeys. We feel that Lee-Anne understands our needs and works with us always for the best travel options.

    Anne B

  • We have had the pleasure of working with Lee-Anne planning trips and itineraries to various destinations of the past 18 years. Her knowledge has been invaluable to us. She has consistently taken care of every travel detail imaginable and is currently working on an extended European holiday for us. We have recommended Lee-Anne’s travel services to a number of family and friends who are now also her clients.

    The Francis Family

  • We’ve only recently started working with Lee-Anne for our family holidays. She made the whole process so easy. Several recommendations on how to put our holiday together were made based on her experience and we would never have thought of these on our own. The USA/Hawaii package she put together for us suited our teenage family perfectly. Lee-Anne went above and beyond to make sure everything was looked after. She will be the first call we make when we are ready to plan our next holiday.

    The Christensen Family

  • Lee-Anne Talbot is more than just a travel agent. Her knowledge and advice is invaluable, thinking of everything so you don’t have to. In times when Covid can change everything at any time. Having Lee-Anne on top of our travel plans has been invaluable. Thank you Lee-Anne, you will be my first call every time I travel.

    Mandy Giddings

  • Lee-Anne was recommended to us by our accountant after a bad experience booking online. Best decision we ever made. Lee-Anne encouraged us to do our own research online to compare with what she was able to offer us. Not only was she able to offer similar prices, hers were often better or included extras like breakfast or resort fees for the same price. The myth that online is cheaper for booking travel is completely untrue not to mention the financial risk you take with online travel companies not governed by Australian consumer protection laws. International holidays are expensive. Do yourself a favour, call Lee-Anne when you are planning your next trip. She will save you so much time and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your hard earned money is safe.

    Julie McCarthy

  • I’ve been booking group holidays for 30-75 people with Lee-Anne now for the past 8 years. We’ve been to Fiji, Perth, Hawaii, New Zealand, Thailand, Vanuatu, The Cook Islands and a cruise from Singapore. She is a trusted travel advisor, great listener and professional in everything she does. Not sure where I’d be without her assistance with my groups. Can thoroughly recommend.
