Travel Well: How Jet Lag Tablets Can Help You Adjust to Long-Haul Flights

Crossing several time zones on a long-haul flight can throw off your sleep schedule and leave you feeling tired, irritable, and out of sync. This common travel issue, known as jet lag, affects many travellers — but it doesn’t have to ruin your trip. At our pharmacy, we stock a range of jet lag tablets designed to help you adapt quickly and comfortably to your new time zone.

 

Why Use Jet Lag Tablets?

Jet lag happens when your body’s internal clock struggles to adjust to a sudden shift in time. Jet lag tablets can help by:

  • Promoting restful sleep
  • Helping you wake up at appropriate times
  • Reducing tiredness, headaches, and sluggishness

Our tablets include natural sleep aids like melatonin or gentle herbal ingredients to support your sleep-wake cycle without leaving you feeling drowsy the next day.

 

Timing Is Key: East vs. West

When taking jet lag tablets, timing makes a big difference depending on your direction of travel:

  • Travelling east? You’re essentially losing time, which can make it harder to fall asleep. Taking a tablet in the evening (local time at your destination) can help you wind down earlier and get a better night’s sleep.
  • Travelling west? You’re gaining hours, which often causes early evening fatigue. Taking a tablet in the late evening or delaying sleep can help push your body clock back.
