Instead, studies have shown that jet lag is in fact the <a href=\"https:\/\/sleepfoundation.org\/sleep-topics\/jet-lag-and-sleep\">body\u2019s natural response<\/a> to the unnatural process of travelling across time zones in a short period. Our circadian rhythm \u2013 the same internal clock mechanism that tells birds when to sing \u2013 is knocked out of sync by our irregular exposure to daylight.<\/p>\n<p>Just as birds <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/06\/06\/city-circadian-rhythm-_n_3397194.html\">have been shown to adapt to the artificial conditions of city life<\/a>, we humans are able to cope better with jet lag if we work smartly with our surroundings. This comes as a great relief to those who don\u2019t wish to start their holiday with a hastily assembled cocktail of ill-advised over-the-counter remedies. The key is to control our sleep by hacking the system that regulates it: spending the day outside on arrival is a great way to force our body to acknowledge the new time zone, as exposure to the sun communicates the change in conditions to our body clock.<\/p>\n<p>When it does come time to hit the hotel room for some sleep, it is important that that sleep is both good quality and well thought-out. This means taking familiar steps such as relaxation exercises and cutting out distractions to ensure a good night\u2019s sleep (at least four hours to anchor you in your new routine), but it also means <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB10001424127887323932604579050990895301888\">avoiding daytime naps of more than 20 minutes at a time<\/a>. It\u2019s great to top up your daily sleep total with powernaps, but not for so long that they ruin the night ahead\u2019s sleep \u2013 or keep you out of the daylight for too long.<\/p>\n<p>For a host of other natural ways to ease your body into its new surroundings, check out this new guide to natural jet lag-busting techniques to ease your mind, body and soul into your vacation.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>[\/full-width-paragraph]<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #67d0ce;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11113\" src=\"http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/9-natural-ways-to-cure-jet-lag-DV1.png\" alt=\"9-natural-ways-to-cure-jet-lag--DV1\" width=\"720\" height=\"3982\" \/><\/div>\n<p>[full-width-paragraph]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Embed this infographic on your site:<\/strong><br \/>\n<textarea style=\"margin: 0px; width: 100%;\" rows=\"8\">&lt;img src=&#8221;http:\/\/expedia.blog.ca.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/9-natural-ways-to-cure-jet-lag-DV1.png&#8221;&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;a href=&#8221;https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/travelblog\/9-natural-ways-cure-jet-lag\/&#8221;&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;p&gt;9 natural ways to cure jet lag [Infographic] by the team at &lt;a href=&#8221;https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/travelblog\/9-natural-ways-cure-jet-lag\/&#8221;&gt;Expedia.ca&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;<\/textarea><\/p>\n<p>[accordion]<br \/>\n[toggle title=&#8221;Sources&#8221; state=&#8221;closed&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[sources]<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sleepfoundation.org\/sleep-topics\/jet-lag-and-sleep\">National Sleep Foundation (2016).
