Conquer Jet Lag: The Surprising Solution for Your First Day in Europe

May 12, 2023 | By: Gurvy Travel

As someone who has experienced jet lag countless times, I know how difficult it can be to adjust to a new time zone after an overnight flight to Europe. That's why at Gurvy Travel, we've developed a unique solution that can help you avoid jet lag and make the most of your first day in Europe.

One of our favorite strategies is to schedule a tour or activity on the day you arrive. This may seem counterintuitive, but it can actually help you stay awake and alert, and avoid the temptation to take a nap that can disrupt your sleep schedule.

By booking a tour or activity, you'll have a set schedule to follow, and you'll be able to explore a new city and its attractions while keeping your mind and body active. 

At Gurvy Travel, we offer a wide range of tours and activities that are perfect for travelers looking to stay active and engaged on their first day in Europe. From walking tours and museum visits to food tours and cooking classes, we've got something for everyone.

So why not make the most of your first day in Europe and book a tour or activity with Gurvy Travel? It's a great way to avoid jet lag and start your trip off on the right foot. 

 

Here are some additional tips on how to overcome an overnight flight and get through the day:

  1. Stay Hydrated: Staying hydrated is crucial when dealing with jet lag. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight, and avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you.

  2. Adjust Your Sleep Schedule: A few days before your flight, start adjusting your sleep schedule to the time zone you'll be arriving in. This can help your body adapt more quickly to the new time zone.

  3. Get Some Sunlight: Exposure to natural sunlight can help reset your body's internal clock and combat jet lag. Try to spend some time outside during the day, even if it's just for a short walk.

  4. Exercise: Exercise can help boost your energy levels and combat jet lag. Even a short workout can make a big difference.

  5. Eat Light: Eat light and healthy meals throughout the day to keep your energy levels up. Avoid heavy, greasy foods that can make you feel sluggish.

Dealing with jet lag can be a challenge, but with these tips, you can overcome an overnight flight and get through the day. Remember to be patient with yourself and give your body time to adjust to the new time zone. By following these strategies, I find that I'm able to power through the day and make the most of my first day in Europe, without succumbing to jet lag.
