EXERCISE 6 UNIT 8
1. According to this article, is jet lag worse when you travel eastward or westward? Why?
Eastward. It’s worse because the body naturally suffers more when the day is
shortened than when it is lengthened
2. What causes jet lag?
Dr. Minsky points out that three are primary causes of jet lag. First, people often wear
themselves out getting ready for a trip, so they are already exhausted when they get
on the plane. Second, long-distance travelers often have a couple of drinks to pass the
time. The alcohol can cause stomach distress and interfere with getting a good night’s
sleep. The third and unavoidable cause of jet lag is the fact that long distance air
travel upsets your internal biological clock.
3. What can you do to minimize jet lag?
Get plenty of rest and eat healthy meals prior to taking a long flight; on the plane, set
your watch to your destination’s time immediately. Then allow that time to guide
your behavior. During the trip, eat and sleep according to the new time zone; once
you arrive, begin to follow a normal routine for that time zone. Try not to take naps.
Set an alarm clock to wake you in the morning. Spend time outside during the day,
and sleep at night; avoid sleeping pills, alcohol, or other drugs that you do not
normally use.
4. Is there any quick cure for jet lag?
Not yet.
