Why does traveling make me so tired?
Why does travel leave me so exhausted?
Travel wipes me out. It's weird, right? You'd think vacation would be relaxing.
Jet lag is a beast. My trip to Rome last October (17th, I think?) totally messed me up for days. I was dragging.
Crossing time zones throws your body clock off. Like, completely.
Drinking tons of water helps, I've found. Also, getting up to walk around on the plane. Even on that cramped flight to Italy.
Trying to sleep on planes never works for me. I arrived in Rome (paid almost $900 for that flight!) feeling like a zombie.
I try to stick to my usual sleep schedule as much as I can. It's tough, but even little things help.
It's important to stretch and move around. Sitting for so long stiffens everything up. My back was killing me on that flight.
Travel fatigue is real. Even short trips can be tiring. So many little things add up, you know?
- Is there a modern part of Hanoi?
- What happens if I use my debit card in another country?
- Which country gives the fastest work visa?
- What is the TGV train short for?
- Is a day trip to Ninh Binh enough?
- Can I eat my own food on a train?
- Does Canadian Rail have sleeper cars?
- Where is the best place to sit on a bus for motion sickness?
- How safe is Vietnam at night?
- Why is the air so bad in Hanoi?
