You’ve got your neck pillow and eye mask, and you’re wearing your comfiest, baggiest trousers all in an attempt to get some much-needed sleep on your long-haul flight. But while catching some ZZZs comes naturally to some at 30,000 feet (sadly, I am not one of them, despite the pyjama-like attire), jet lag can still catch up with the soundest of sleepers.
Speaking as someone who recently drifted off in a trendy New York bar (not a good look), travelling for both work and pleasure – including a stint living in and travelling from the Middle East – flying has been a huge part of my life for a number of years now and, unfortunately, so has jet leg. And while waking up at 5am can be a great excuse to use a hotel gym or pool – neither of which seem to help tire me out enough to fall asleep at the right time – I’d much rather be sound asleep, which is why Jet Candy is such a life saver.
Made from all-natural ingredients – perfect for this allergy-prone traveller – Jet Candy Jet Lag Remedy comes in a small but perfectly formed dispenser, which has around 100 pills that will be your best friend for eight long-haul flights.
Inside each handmade pill there’s sucrose, arnica, bellis perennis, cocculus, gelsemium and petroleum – all of which combat the symptoms of jet lag, including sleepiness, insomnia, headaches, vertigo and travel sickness.
Simply pop one pill the night before flying, one the following morning, one just before take-off (those who can do so with a free glass of fizz, I salute you), one in-flight every two hours, one on arrival and finally one the morning after travel. Et voila, no more falling asleep amongst the cosmopolitans.
Now that’s the sleep pattern sorted, where’s the upgrade?!
