Letter: A seasoned traveller's tip for minimising jet lag

Published 9 June 2021

From Trevor Magnusson, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

You report that a passenger’s expectation of jet lag is the strongest predictor of how severe it turns out to be (15 May, p 16). As a business traveller, many of my trips follow the same route, with similar departure and arrival times. My expectations are informed only by previous experience.

I can recommend my method of minimising jet lag, namely 24 hours of deliberate sleep deprivation the day before a trip.
