14 Pro Tips to Avoid Jet Lag | Travel Hacks

[@senzubean31]

Don't sleep on the flight, then power through the first day and go to sleep at about 9pm. Right as rain after that. Works for me every time.

[@vagabrothers]

Amen!

[@senzubean31]

vagabrothers I've got to fly to/from Australia so I know I'm always in for a super long flight across tons of time zones. You get used to it.

[@mrpie2429]

Good thing I can never sleep on a plane or car or simething

[@yvleeoh]

Great tip but its very hard to not sleep on the 12 hour flight to South Korea XD

[@helmutwhynot8968]

Or you dont sleep the night before your flight and sleep in the plane, but you need to make sure to land in the morning in your destination of choice.

[@evanserickson]

When I went to China, I purposefully didn't sleep much the night before and then I got onto the night flight (which departed LA around 2am) and was able to sleep on the plane and woke up / arrived in Beijing around 7-8 am and was decently rested. Going to a gym and having a hard workout always helped me as well.

[@priyankalearner]

when I travel I don't think about change in time zone and act as if nothing has changed, like it's just another day in my home town. My mind then automatically handles the rst.

[@priyankalearner]

Btw thanks for the tips!

[@vagabrothers]

Thanks for sharing yours too

[@sylvita518]

The same happened to me when I traveled last year to India,I didn't give much thought to the change of time and it went so well, but what I didn't know was to drink lots of water before and fainted in airplane in the first flight but googled about it and learned about the drinking water and so I did just that when coming back home and thank God it went well 🙏👍

[@Jack_The_Ripper_Here]

I flew from Canada to Turkey didn't even think about the time difference.. Just flew, slept on the flight, went to Turkey, slept at night and that was it. Don't think about it. See the airplane as a time machine or something, you to into a tube and go outside in a different place and that's all.

[@yosemite963]

SpitfireJJ turkey is such a great country right!!

[@small.towns.open.spaces]

When I traveled to and from LA to China I used Brainwave program on my iPhone. It uses Binaural programs to allow your body to sleep or wake up and so I made sure that I would sleep or wake up according to the destination time zone. Worked like a charm - no jet lag and I was refreshed ready to see the sites.

[@adventurouswanderlust1907]

Watching this as I'm jet lagged. Wish I watched it before leaving my home town 😣

[@jazzg.6771]

Adventurous Wanderlust1 same here

[@MarillaKay]

I'm taking on ten time zones for a trip in a couple of weeks! I find that getting together with locals right away - whether that is family or friends, really helps! I stick to their schedule and rest when they do.

[@misakik7007]

Come to Japan 🇯🇵 to enjoy jet lag ✈️ with 16hours time lag!

[@vagabrothers]

We need to get to Japan this year!!

[@timosenko1]

Isnt it just 8 hours then? 🤔

[@louieterrazas]

I have been dreaming about going to Japan since I was 10 yrs. old and Im finally going this August! (also climbing Mt. Fuji...)

[@TheRandomperson1016]

Louie Terrazas how was it? I’m going next week

[@ms.martinfanforlife5051]

Louie Terrazas, Congradulations! 😊 Have a great time!

[@rosevilleca38.75]

When I fly from USA to Europe on an overnight 9 hour flight I always sleep as much as possible between the first and second meals. Then when I get there in the morning my head is sharp as ever for sight seeing and urban hiking, no jet lag here!

[@vagabrothers]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@johnmcfarland2055]

I sometimes have doubts that I'm human....I have traveled the world for many years (Mom worked for British Airways, I worked for Pan Am, as did your Mom) and have never suffered from jet lag. I can also drink coffee last thing at night and fall right to sleep!

[@vagabrothers]

You’re a machine John!!

[@anildamodaran]

Wow! This has to feature as a super power among the X-Men. I'm not kidding. I struggle with it for at least a couple of weeks.

[@bennychun1021]

Thats a blessing:)

[@klwudi]

Lucky you 😊hope I won't have it either. We will fly from London to Bangkok in march. We will arrive at 8 am so I guess it's beneficial for us to sleep through the journey. Please tell me if I'm wrong. Never left Europe before therefore no experience of jet lag. 😊

[@ms.martinfanforlife5051]

My mom drinks so much coffee and soda before bed and sleeps like an angel. Five kids and my dad, what can you expect. 😂

[@natureallmighty]

I love the "no moaning" advice in general for travelling

[@shaynagutierrez2517]

Thanks for the tips! I’m traveling to the Philippines from LA soon so I’ll definitely put these to use! :)

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

Overnight/Red Eye flights are the way to do it if you are traveling east to Europe. My wife's family lives in Germany and we live in Texas, so they are 7 hours ahead of us. We go visit once a year. We take a flight that leaves Boston around 8:30PM, so its dark, and it arrives in Munich at 9AM, so its light. If you can sleep just the last 2-3 hours or so of the flight and then open your eyes to morning in Germany, you basically instantly adjust to the new time zone. The first day there you are pretty tired and groggy, yes. But your body is ready to go to sleep when night comes. We go to bed early that fist night, around 8pm. And that's it, you wake up the next day adjusted.

[@CandleHaven]

I leave for Japan in just over a month. I've been trying to put myself in the mindset and keep an eye on the local clock for the last month. As time draws closer, I've been slowly adjusting my body clock by trying to stay up as late as I can. I like the water bottle tip. Thanks guys!

[@mikegindling4236]

I appreciated jet lag in Cairo because I was up at 4am and sat on my room balcony, watched the Nile flow past and heard the call to prayer at sunrise.

[@blu2th101]

This is more informative than my entire high school and college careers combined.

[@amo_res9266]

When i travel to asia, i just try to sleep in the plane when it's night time in my destination, so i feel good in the morning in that destination

[@planetarodi2608]

Thanks guys you have the best travel channel. Both of you are professional, nice personality, humble, energetic and have good sense of humor. Blessings and good luck! (Your parent did an excellent job).

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you for this wonderful comment 🙏🏼😊

[@gerdpapenburg7050]

Unfortunately I am old and severely handicapped. I cannot travel any more. I used to travel a lot when I was young. As a German I was lucky to have six weeks of paid annual leave. I have usually taken four weeks of my leave for a three week vacation/holidays. I have booked my departure on Tuesday/Wednesday although I have had the last working day on Friday and was off-duty by 1PM. For travel to the States I have started to party hard the German way on Friday, from 11PM to Saturday 5AM. Then I have slept until 1PM on Saturday and have again partied hard to get used to sleep from 5AM German time to 1PM German time which is 11PM to 7AM US East Coast time. For travel to Asia I have immediately started to heavily drink at home on Friday at 2PM until I have fallen asleep completely drunken at about 8PM. The next day I have started to drink by 9AM and have slept from 5PM to 1AM. In this way I could easily adjust my body to the time which was applied at my vacancy destination. After return to Germany on Wednesday/Thursday I still had enough time to adjust the jet lag in order to start working on the next Monday.

[@jenohogan9254]

I'm going to be in big trouble when I zip over to Ireland from the west coast of Canada. Zombie tourist. hahaha

[@vagabrothers]

That’s definitely one where you’d want to do a red eye then stay up later when you arrive

[@jenohogan9254]

Yep. I'm definitely taking this under advisement. lol

[@camicase88]

Me too, I'm going to Toronto and I'm from France ^^ have good holidays, Ireland is great :)

[@meghandunphy7350]

I already live by some of these, but learned some new tips I didn't know. Thanks Vagabrothers!

[@grimr34p]

Moving to Seoul from Toronto is gonna hit hard when i leave at noon toronto time and land at 4pm seoul time meaning over 30 hours of pure sunlight

[@marellypalomares2554]

Without notice I followed many of those tips in my last travel to Barcelona (from Venezuela).. and only took me two days to beat jet lag hahaha.. It really works!!

[@vagabrothers]

Enhorabuena 👏🏼👏🏼

[@rachelmatthews6953]

I usually can’t fall asleep on airplanes. After my flight from the US to Japan I slept for 14 hours and woke up at 4am. But that was close enough that I didn’t feel much jet lag. On the way back home, I managed to fall asleep and it took me a week to recover.

[@mostellaria12]

Flew from Central Europe to Alaska last year, forced myself to stay awake and get outside but the first two days were awful haha, felt tired and a bit sick... taking walks in fresh air helped :)

[@sefaridvanunlu3613]

I have a flight(actually flights) next month first from Istanbul to Frankfurt then to Reykjavik then to Boston then to San Francisco just in 48hours!! Guys this video means a lot to me!!! Hugs from Turkey!

[@vagabrothers]

Oh god!!! That sounds like a heavy dose of Jet Lag in the making!! Make sure you check the list of anti Jet Lag essentials in the description box, you’ll need that pillow we recommend :)

[@sefaridvanunlu3613]

thanks guys :) btw I will be working in California for 3 months, next to Lake Tahoe with Work&Travel program as you guys suggested, now I am doing it!! so feel free to come and visit, beers on me!

[@thelifepurposeof...]

I'm so grateful for your channel. Going on a huge travel journey and all this content is so helpful. Love the tips. Thank you.

[@vagabrothers]

Thanks Gabriel!

[@victoriahm3417]

I usually try to fall asleep at the flight and in addition I take a half of a pill that makes me complete my sleeping hours. It takes me like 4 days of adjustment.

[@vagabrothers]

Well try some of these tips, they should really help you recuperate faster :)

[@TheMickybutler]

No jet lag issue, but there is a time zone difference between London-Cape Town. Currently it is 1 hour or it can be 2 hours depending on the time of year. Great vid.

[@momscandaytrade]

You guys are out of this world. Thanks I'll be doing this for 3 days straight...

[@vagabrothers]

Beat the Jet Lag!

I’m trying to recover jet lag Antigua-London as I see this video. Very useful, thanks!

[@dannyramos2358]

A good topic to go over would be safest countries to visit, or tips on how to stay safe when traveling. Safety first!

[@MatthewPalanca]

This was perfect. I’m trying to deal with jet lag right now!!!

[@vagabrothers]

You can do it! Where did you fly to/from?

[@MatthewPalanca]

vagabrothers I flew out to Siem Reap from LA! I got on that “no coffee / alcohol” tip

[@shreyapuranik9647]

I love u guys... Pls come to India again...

[@vagabrothers]

We love you too! Hope to be back in India again this year :)

[@dogsforever5707]

I go from the East coast to Ireland pretty often (every two years or so) and my parents always say take a nap when we get there but I personally like to just stay awake until the night and my body does the rest.

[@vagabrothers]

Ignore your parents hahah

[@InbetweenLattes]

Love all the tips here! Will def keep in mind on my next trip :) you always inspire me to create better travel videos, thank you!!

[@vagabrothers]

Glad you enjoyed 🙌🏼

[@josiebobeck6450]

Thank you for this! In a week I'm flying to South Korea from Michigan and the time difference is going to kick my butt, but this made me feel better!

[@thepolicesawmynudes]

I need a video on how to tell your psychiatrist that you'll be okay if you go traveling and that if you're depressed is because you've been stuck in the same busy and stressful city for years x

[@vagabrothers]

Just go- call your doctor from the road or write a post card 🤙🏽

[@kamronseeram3488]

So happy you guys uploaded this. Using these tips on my trip to Rome next week!

[@vagabrothers]

Enjoy Rome! Did you see the Rome, Tuscany and Venice vlogs on the channel?

[@kamronseeram3488]

vagabrothers yes of course! Watched those and pretty much all your travel tip videos 😂 helped me out so much!

[@GrahamofWhite]

Great and accurate rules. To sum up the 'best' point...When you arrive to your destination, "don't do math." Don't focus on, count, or even remember what time it is from your origin. Math creates jag lag. Your stomach will stay on its schedule, but there's nothing you can do about that. However, you can trick your mind into adapting quickly. When you land, that is the time, and the only time, period!

[@namorn30nyc]

Thanks ..great tips.travelling from New York to Singapore 15hrs, with a 5hrs layover in Shanghai. and a 4hrs flight into Singapore.Total 24hrs..

Thank you! Really hoping these help my 17 hour flight to Australia on Friday.

[@narlyjensen]

Woah amazing tips! Usually I would stay up for a full day or two, and I sleep during my Long haul flights.

[@vagabrothers]

Hopefully the tips will help you in the future :)

[@DavidMacchiaW]

Use nose opening strips when sleeping on the aircraft. Every bit of o2 helps. Dab a of generic Neosporin in you nose, not to deep, with a q-tip before you board. It will keep your nose from drying out.

[@wmuha78]

Great Great video guys! Good work.

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you!!

I just flew from England to America and my jet lag isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's 11:00 p.m. and it's 6:00 p.m. in America. I always stay up late so it's not really a big difference. 😊

[@Cody_1019]

I'm going to Ireland in June for 2 weeks from Philadelphia. So 5 hours ahead in Ireland. It was bad for you?

[@JanKlaeui]

The thing which worked for me every time was partying the same night I arrived

[@maryellenputnam-reinhardt3305]

That sounds like a plan for me!

[@allanweilert7185]

As a retired a chiropractor who practiced acupuncture, I have never experienced jet lag on the 20+ trios Ive taken to Europe from the US. The secret is sleeping on the way over-even a few hours will help and on the way back stimulating acupuncture points by rubbing for 15 sec behind your knees in the web space once every hour you’re in the air. Of course, this means you don’t sleep at all going home. Try it, it works.No need to do this headed over to Europe from the US. Just sleep.

[@maxmops5055]

Guys, this is weird. :D Watching a video about dealing with jet lag with footage from all over the world and suddenly recognizing my personal running track at 7:30 back home. Nice tips by the way!

If you're flying from Australia, east coast, to Spain...well you're pretty well toast. 17 hrs But arriving in Barcelona at 9pm, go out to eat and then go to bed, I found we bounced. It was the days after we returned to Aus that zombied me.

I need help I leave UK at 9:50pm on a Wednesday and arrive at Australia 8:40am on a Friday I am working up until the day before I travel What do I do to avoid jet lag Aso need to know how to deal with flying new Zealand to UK

[@Ava_vee]

bro i hate jetlag, i don't usually sleep at long haul flights when i do maximum i sleep is 2-3 hours, whenever i take vacation to Philippines flight time takes atleast 16-20 hrs, so ofc usually i don't really get to sleep in a day. and when i arrived there its already morning. so i need to stay awake for the next 12 hrs again. usually whenever i travel from west to east like this, i need to stay awake atleast for more than 24 hours. it sucks. it takes me 5-7 days to adjust when my vacation is only like 14 days. so basically 1 week of my vacation there i was just a drowsy zombie and can't fully enjoy it. thanks for these tips. hope it will help in the future

[@skippyg.5450]

I will be traveling from Baltimore Maryland to Melbourne Australia (a total of 24 hours of layovers and flight times) including 2 layovers in Denver and LA before the long 15 hours to Melbourne. I will only have 1 1/2 days to relax (I guess), before a long 100 mile cycling event one day and a 50 mile cycling event the next in Australia. My flight is on a Monday afternoon. HELP!!!!!

[@papichefitup]

Very informative

[@PetrSandu]

I am like 2m tall, the seating in the aircrafts won't allow me to sleep so once I get to my destination I just wait till the evening and go to sleep then.

[@vagabrothers]

👏🏼👏🏼

[@vagabrothers]

Airplane seating can be extremely uncomfortable, especially if you’re taller or larger

[@erinshay2108]

I have a similar issue. Not as tall as you, but still tall. I ask to sit in a bulk head or emergency exit row and usually they'll allow it, it's worth a shot!

Never sleep on the plane either way it just sucks when adjusting to home time again in summer. 16 hours is a hard time change to adjust to.

[@nikkosantos8347]

[@vagabrothers]

How many hours was that?

[@nikkosantos8347]

Quickest 1 stop you can find is like 19+ hours. But with your travel tips, it goes by smoothly :)

[@ctsmithco]

@vagabrothers We flew back from Barcelona to Lisbon to Newark to Colorado..wish we watched this first..oye..what day and time is it?..

[@axelgiovanni8635]

Hi.. I've watched your videos recently. I'm curious, have you ever experienced a turbulence during your flight? If so, how did you manage yourself to remain calm?

[@vagabrothers]

Yes we definitely have, it’s always good to remember that planes are designed to have structural flex and them moving in turbulence is what they are designed to do. Then remember how many tens of thousands of commercial flights there are every day and how few crashes there are. If you start to have a freak out, just focus on slowing down your breathing with deep slow breathes and close your eyes. You’ll be fine :)

[@Alyssiaes]
