From avoiding coffee to staying awake and even following strange diets, travelers seem to be constantly searching for the solution to overcoming jet lag. According to travel expert Anne Roderique-Jones, however, embracing jet lag comes with its own fun that you don’t want to miss. Here’s why you should avoid fighting jet lag after your next long-haul flight.
You’ll Experience Things You’d Normally Miss
As Anne recalled, it was during a trip to Vietnam that she was unable to sleep. Still, she didn’t let this ruin her fun. “The time change allowed me to stay up until sunrise, drinking beer along the tarp-covered city streets in a rainstorm. I can thank jet lag for a handful of core vacation memories,” she recalled.
Extra Productivity
Anne explained that whenever she returns to her home in New York City after a long-distance trip, she often wakes up very early in the morning. Instead of trying to head back to sleep, she used this to her advantage, getting a headstart on work and even going for a brisk walk to get some exercise in.
