How do I travel with NuCalm?Updated 6 days ago
NuCalm can improve sleep quality and manage circadian rhythm dysfunction because it has the potential to reset homeostasis, which is the body’s internal equilibrium and balance in all physiological processes. NuCalm can also alleviate the stress of jet lag and travel while quickly restoring order to your body rhythms and timing mechanisms. A 45-minute NuCalm Rescue session is proven to reset the autonomic nervous system and biological clocks quickly, even after crossing multiple time zones.
Quick NuCalm travel tips:
Download your desired tracks for offline playback before you leave for the airport
Drink lots of water and add electrolytes to your diet as part of your pre-flight routine; dehydration during travel is common and increases the potential for jet lag
Be sure to use NuCalm Rescue before your travel day for at least 30 minutes
Once you are comfortable in your seat, start Rescue
For longer flights, do another Rescue session an hour before the end of the flight (if you are using a NuCalm biosignal processing disc, keep your disc on throughout the flight)
If you still feel sluggish or are having a difficult time adjusting to your local time zone, Rescue or PowerNap again once you arrive at your destination
When you wake up the next morning, start your day with Rescue or PowerNap and try to fit in a NuCalm session each day you are traveling
Before Traveling:
Get as much rest as possible before the trip
Begin altering your sleep schedule to match that at your destination
Avoid alcohol consumption – especially before flying and doing NuCalm
Use Rescue every day during the few days before the trip, as it will groom neural pathways, balance the autonomic nervous system, and build stress resilience
In-flight or transit:
Drink lots of water and take healthy electrolytes
Try and optimize comfort when financially feasible
Try and avoid being immobile for long periods of time – stretch, walk around the airport, switch positions often when sitting for long periods of time
Do Rescue on the plane – make sure to log in to app and download tracks prior to flying
At a new destination:
Optimize light exposure based on the direction of travel
Sleep strategically and time it according to the direction of travel – if you need to nap during the day only take short ones!
Do Rescue or PowerNap in the afternoon, instead of napping, or in the morning to supplement a lack of quality nighttime sleep
