How to use the Major Influences on Jet Lag
Katie’s Travel Toolkit with Travel+Leisure
Sarah Spagnolo from Travel+Leisure discusses the major influences on jet lag with Katie Couric and how Stop Jet Lag uses them to make your trip more productive and enjoyable.
About Stop Jet Lag
The computer software that creates your Stop Jet Lag Plan was developed by Bill Ashton in collaboration with one of chronobiology’s preeminent scientists, Dr. Charles Ehret.
Unlike other solutions, Stop Jet Lag leverages and integrates personal profiles, flight schedules, and applied research in chronobiology, providing travelers with the most comprehensive and accurate means of beating jet lag, even for those with difficult flight times or complex multi-stop itineraries.
The team’s specialized software allows Stop Jet Lag to determine the best jet lag avoidance scenario for any flight schedule. The result is a customized Stop Jet Lag plan that takes into account the particular details of each trip, as well as the traveler’s personal habits.
This makes it possible to identify times during a travel itinerary when ‘core sleep’ may be possible and prescribe specifically timed activities to optimize that sleep schedule.
Why Is There a Need for Stop Jet Lag
Bill Ashton explains
"Why I realized the need for Stop Jet Lag"
"All of my challenging travel experiences convinced me to create a comprehensive Stop Jet Lag service to help other travelers on their long distance business trips now that proven scientific research can be used to beat jet lag."
Dr. Charles Ehret explains
"Why I became involved with Stop Jet Lag"
"The program is able to identify and then select the optimum times during the schedule when ‘core sleep’ may be possible and then keys the rest of the prescribed routine to that optimum sleep schedule."
Why is Stop Jet Lag so effective?
Stop Jet Lag is consistently effective because it coordinates the specific timings of the major natural jet lag influences with the personal sleeping and eating habits of the traveler.
Stop Jet Lag is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each plan considers your specific flight schedule and normal daily routines. The result is a completely customized, concise hour-by-hour schedule that helps you reset your body clock so you arrive at your destination on local time.
Stop Jet Lag is based on scientifically shifting your body clock onto your new time zone by:
- Adjusting sleep and meal times
- Timing bright light exposure and exercise
- Eating the right food, at the right time
- Regulating caffeine intake
- Using melatonin supplements (optional)
