Why Your Travel Fatigue Isn’t Just Jet Lag
EZSLEEPS
We often blame jet lag for the exhaustion that follows a long trip. But sometimes, it’s not just about time zones.
You Didn't Sleep - You Just Closed Your Eyes
There's a difference between "shutting your eyes" for a few hours on a plane… and actual deep sleep. Upright posture, constant noise, dry air - they all sabotage your rest.
Your Body Was Under Stress
Tight seats. Carry-on bags. Delayed connections. Even without realizing it, your body goes through hours of tension and imbalance.
The Missing Recovery Window
Once you land, the schedule starts. Meetings, sightseeing, family. When you don’t pause to recover, fatigue builds and lingers.
So What Can You Do?
Prioritize sleep before & after flights
Move your body mid-flight
Hydrate early & often
Use proper support - neck, lower back, feet
Give yourself time before hitting the ground running
Travel fatigue is real - and it deserves real rest.
