The unique travel hack that is guaranteed to help beat jet lag
Experts have revealed how to beat jet lag on your next overseas holiday, and it all comes down to your modes of transport.
Sleep researchers said it's good news for cruise lovers, as exposure to sea air and bright natural light improves sleep to cure the annoying condition quickly.
Some experts say to avoid travelling by plane all together, and always opt for cruising holidays instead.
However, if you have to travel to your cruise by plane, being on board is a great way to tackle the dreadful feeling, compared with holidaying on land, Panache Cruises said.
Dr Lindsay Browning, expert at Trouble Sleeping said exposing yourself to bright lights at the right time after a long-haul flight is one of the most powerful things we can do to boost and help shift circadian rhythm, and being on a ship is the perfect place for that.
"As a general rule, you want to get lots of bright light exposure during the daytime and avoid light at night," Browning said.
"When travelling on a cruise ship, you will naturally get a lot of bright light exposure during the day, helping your circadian rhythm.”
"Further, when travelling by ship you will have a cabin with a proper bed and curtain, enabling you to sleep at night when you want to."
The company claimed research showed how prolonged exposure to sea air can improve blood oxygen levels, boost vitamin D, and improve breathing leading to higher-quality sleep, helping to rid travellers of pesky jet lag so they can enjoy their holidays.
