How to outsmart jetlag

Emeritus Professor Leon Lack joined Andrea Ho on ABC Radio's Night Life to discuss ways to outsmart jetlag.


Offering practical advice to frequent travellers, Professor Lack emphasised the critical role of light exposure in regulating the body's internal clock. He highlighted the effectiveness of light therapy in minimising the impact of jet lag by synchronising the body's circadian rhythms with the new time zone.


Professor Lack also recommended implementing a strategic sleep schedule before long-haul flights, gradually adjusting sleep patterns to align with the destination's time zone. Emphasising the importance of maintaining a consistent sleep routine, Professor Lack's insights offered listeners practical strategies to overcome the challenges of jet lag and enhance their travel experience.
