Flying-related sleep disruption is a shared challenge, whether you're seated in business class luxury or squeezed into the economy section. We've all been there: enduring long-haul flights, grappling with jet lag, battling delays, and dealing with cabin distractions that conspire against restful sleep.

While some factors are beyond our control, there are actionable steps we can take to make these journeys more conducive to a good night's rest.

Take Charge of Your Diet 

Be mindful of what you eat and drink before and during your flight. Opt for lighter meals and avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Stick to your usual eating routine as much as possible, refraining from eating at unusual times, be it early morning or late at night. Consider bringing your own snacks to have better control over your in-flight diet.

Prioritise Movement

Incorporating exercise before and after flying can significantly impact your sleep quality. Even a condensed workout routine can help you feel more alert upon reaching your destination and counteract the sedentary nature of long-haul flights.

Optimise Your Sleep Accessories

Consider bringing your own snacks to have better control over your in-flight diet.

Manage Your Circadian Rhythm

Effectively regulating exposure to daylight is crucial for mitigating jet lag. Exposing yourself to natural light early in your flight and minimising artificial light exposure when flying in alignment with your destination's time zone can provide a head start. Strategically timed naps during longer flights, aligned with your destination's time zone, can also aid in adjusting your internal clock.

Airlines Improving Conditions

Thankfully forward-thinking airlines understand that sleep disruption isn't just an inconvenience for traveler; it has a direct impact on the overall trip experience and passengers' health. More are now taking proactive steps to improve the sleep environment onboard.
