Long-distance air travel makes many demands on your system. When you move across time zones your physiological clock has to "reset" its 24-hour cycle - and you also have to cope with deadlines, delays, and unfamiliar situations. There are noise, bustle, and changes in pressure, climate, and culture. You can, however, greatly reduce these additional stresses through simple yogic practices.

While travelling, take note of feelings of tension and fatigue as they arise and on't excape by drinking alcohol, smoking, or trying to become absorbed in a novel or film.

Simple awareness will by itself reduce your stress level but you can reduce it further by slowing your breathing an (when possible) by certain relaxation techniques and meditation. Also, try to imagine that you have been living at your destination's time for 24 hours already to help your mind "reset" its internal clock.

When you arrive at your destination, allow at least 24 hours before you become active. Take a walk, or practise yoga before you sleep.
