National Lose the Jet Lag Day is observed on January 17th and aims to raise awareness about the fatigue and disorientation that often follow long-distance flights. This day encourages travelers to learn about jet lag, which occurs when the internal body clock is disrupted by crossing multiple time zones, leading to symptoms like grogginess and decreased alertness. To celebrate, individuals are advised to embrace natural light, adjust their schedules before departure, stay hydrated, and engage in physical activity during flights. The day also promotes the use of sleep aids wisely and emphasizes the importance of managing light exposure and sleep schedules to minimize jet lag effects. National Lose the Jet Lag Day was founded by the United Family of Cards from Chase, in collaboration with Timeshifter, to provide travelers with practical tools and strategies for better travel experiences.
