HOW TO AVOID JET LAG

thetravellingscientist.com.au

I've been in Prague, Czech Republic, and before my long haul flight back to Melbourne, Australia, I decided to do some research into the science of jet lag. I discuss circadian rhythms, earth rotation, melatonin, potential new jet lag drugs, and 6 natural tips that can be followed to minimise jet lag during long flights. See the links below for more information.
