There is nothing worse than losing the first couple of days of a holiday to jet lag.
There is also nobody better than a flight attendant to give advice on how to overcome it, which is what one flight attendant has done on the online discussion form, Quora.
According to
Shreyas P, who claims he has worked for five major airlines where he has travelled to more than 50 countries, the first step towards beating jet lag is admitting you can't actually beat it - so stop trying. Instead, he said you're best chance at coping with different time zones until you adjust is to meet it somewhere in the middle.
"We [flight attendants] don't try to completely adjust to the time zones. If it is Europe then we get the time zone somewhere in the middle." he said.
"If you are used to sleeping at 11pm and in London that will mean at 4pm, we will try to sleep at 6-7pm London time.
