Getting sufficient sleep recurrently may be powerful — and even more durable if you’re touring for the vacations. “We want sleep like we want water,” says Jade Wu, a behavioral sleep medication psychologist and writer of the e book Howdy Sleep. She and Brief Wave host Regina G. Barber focus on what’s occurring to our our bodies after we get jet lag and the clocks in our physique get out of whack. Additionally they get into the science of the circadian rhythm and how you can put together for an extended flight throughout time zones.
Take a look at CDC’s web site for tips about minimizing jet lag.
