Prioritizing the Major Body Clock Influences
In cases of conflict, understanding which body clock factors take priority is crucial. Here’s how a StopJetLag specialist would handle such conflicts:
- Sleep Availability: The most powerful influence on your body clock is when you can first get core sleep on your destination time zone to stay awake for your typical activity segment at your destination. This is subject to the interaction of all your booked flights and your normal sleeping pattern.
- Light Exposure (Bright vs. Dim): Light is one of the most powerful influences on your body clock. The specialist prioritizes the correct exposure to light at specific times, ensuring that you adjust to your target time zone as quickly as possible.
- Food Timing and Types: Meal timing plays a supporting role in body clock regulation. A specialist would advise you to prioritize light exposure first and then optimize meal timing and types to further help your body adjust.
- Caffeine Timing: While caffeine can help with alertness, it’s crucial to time it correctly to avoid interfering with sleep and your body clock. A specialist will tell you when caffeine is neutral or beneficial and when to avoid it, considering its effect on both sleep and energy levels.
