You probably heard the joke that after long travel your suitcase will be in better condition than you. Here are some tricks how to avoid the usual travelling tiredness.
Go West
This is not exactly a trick, but it is well known that if you travel on west, you will be less tired. The main reason is that it is easy for our body to accept the longer day instead of the shortened of it. After a long travelling, you feel tired because the biorhythm of our brain is disturbed by the different time zones. Also, the other parts of the body have their own biorhythm so they have to adjust to a new conditions.
Move the time for meal
To adjust your inner clock, two or tree days before you go for a trip, practise to take meals in a different time or in a time which will be in a time zone you intend to travel.
Melatonin
This is perfect thing to prevent tiredness. Take a pills of this hormone, which are naturally produced in your body during the sleep time. You will regulate your biorhythm.
Sunlight
The recommendation is after taking melatonin go for short walk outside on sunlight. Be carefully about the sun. The point is to be just exposed to a natural light.
Pills for sleeping or not sleeping
You need rest after all? Taking pills for sleeping is just OK for some low dosage, but don't get used to them. It is not good to sleep long period. After all, you have to move to avoid getting thrombosis.
Exercises
After long travelling it is very good to take a short walk for 15 minutes. This will help your body to accumulate new energy.
If you have some obligations and meetings in the morning, the best thing is to take a cup of tea after a short walk. Just to refresh your body.

Some airlines has audio program for meditation. It is good thing to be relaxed during the long trip. It is not recommended to eat or drink alcohol to much. Take just enough, no more.
