Follow these steps to acclimate to your new time zone and manage your circadian rhythm so you get most out of your trip.
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 20-minute NuCalm Rescue, PowerNap, or FlowState session is proven to reset the autonomic nervous system and biological clocks quickly, even after crossing multiple time zones.
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
- Do 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
- Download the journey neuroacoustic software tracks prior to flying. Learn more about Offline Playback.
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 – stretch, walk around the airport, and switch positions often when sitting for long periods
- Do Rescue on the plane – (if you are on a long, overnight flight you can use either Rescue 120 or DeepSleep or DeepestSleep 8-hour or 10-hour)
At 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
