Never drink alcohol as your “falling-asleep-assistance”

Tiny alcohol bottles on board often used as a falling asleep assistance during flight. In airplane these affect however - exactly same as tranquilizers - three times as strongly as down on earth! If you are suffering from fear of flight you should avoid alcohol here, since psychological symptoms can occur such as aggression or depression (however, this is an extensive subject. I will post an article about this in future. For now I focus on “jet lag”).

In addition alcohol supports drainage of body, which particularly begins fast on long distance flights. As consequence headache and listlessness appear. The air within an airplane is often drier than in desert! While air humidity of Sahara amounts to about 20 per cent, it occurs at long distance flights that it falls below ten-per cent border. Therefore you should drink much water during, before and after flight.

Professionals take beverages themselves

In many cases water on board isn’t particularly good-tasting and is served in containers by size of an egg cup. You won’t to constantly trouble a flight attendant with your desires. Therefore take yourself also a large bottle of your preferential mineral water on board.

Last but not least: my most important advice

To complete habituation time of your body following rule of thumb applies: One day per hour time lag. With a difference of six hours that would be six days, until biological clock of body ticks in conformity with time belt. When you then precautionary go to bed one our earlier/later per day, your body get used to new daytime.

Enjoy your trip to Germany!
