The Gulf sits at the crossroads of the world, and long-haul flights are part of life here — whether you are flying east to Asia, west to Europe or beyond. The trouble is that your body clock does not always land when you do, leaving you wired at midnight and foggy by day.
A little planning and gentle natural support can help you reset more smoothly. Here are the picks people reach for to ease jet lag and arrive feeling more like themselves.
Why jet lag throws you off
Jet lag happens when your internal clock is still on the old time zone while the world around you has moved on.
- A body clock out of step, leaving you sleepy by day and wide awake at night.
- Broken, shallow sleep, as your system struggles to settle at the new local hours.
- Travel strain and dehydration, which add tiredness, tension and a foggy head.
The short version: jet lag is a body clock lagging behind the new time zone, and gentle support alongside light, timing and rest helps it catch up sooner.
Your natural toolkit — and which to reach for
Here are the gentle picks people reach for to reset after a long flight. If the journey also upset your stomach, see our guide to traveller's tummy support.
