Universal Jet Lag Calculator

What is Jet Lag?

​

Jet lag is a temporary sleep disorder that occurs when you travel across multiple time zones. It's caused by a disruption to your body's internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, which regulates when you feel sleepy and when you feel awake. When you fly to a new time zone, your body is still operating on your home time, leading to a mismatch between your internal clock and your new location.

​

Common symptoms of jet lag include:

• Disrupted sleep patterns, such as insomnia or waking up frequently

• Daytime fatigue and lethargy

• Difficulty concentrating

• Stomach problems or changes in appetite

• Mood swings and general irritability

General Tips for a Smooth Trip

In addition to using the calculator, remember these simple strategies for a better travel experience:

​

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight to combat dehydration, which can worsen jet lag symptoms.

• Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: These substances can interfere with your sleep cycle and make it harder for your body to adjust.

• Adjust Your Schedule: Start shifting your sleep and meal times a few days before your trip to ease your body into the new time zone.

• Embrace the Sun: Exposure to natural daylight is one of the most powerful ways to reset your internal clock.
