How antinarcoleptic medicines can help you with jetlag?

Jetlag is a temporary condition that occurs in people who travel across several times zones in a day or a couple of days. It is only relevant for traveling by airplane because is impossible to cross many time zones with a train or ship in such a short period of time.

The condition is basically a confusion of the internal body clock, i.e. your body follows the clock of the time zone you are in, so the certain processes in your body make you sleepy in the evening and more energetic in the morning. But if there is a big time difference in the place where you traveled, for instance, it is morning when in your usual time zone it is evening, the normal sleep-wake cycles are confused so you are sleepy in the morning and energetic in the night so you have insomnia. This can also result in the drop of cognitive functions, i.e. attention, speed of reaction, memory, etc., digestive disorders development, anxiety, irritability, and so on. Fortunately, these occurrences are temporary. On average, the body needs a day or two to adjust to one or two time zones crossed.

How can you cope with jetlag?

In fact, jetlag doesn’t require any treatment as it is not a disease or a condition. However, considering that people travel for business trips and commonly have meetings on a day of arrival, jetlag can significantly affect their work performance. Even for people who travel across several time zones for vacation, it is not fun to suffer from jetlag for several days.

So how can you avoid getting jetlagged or minimize the symptoms? There are a few things that you can do to prepare yourself:

- Try to book a flight so that you arrive at your destination before 10 PM so you could go to bed early.

- If you travel to the east, a couple of days or a week before your flight, go to bed and wake up earlier than usual. If you are traveling west – on the contrary, go to bed later and wake up later if it is possible.

- If you are going to the west, wear sunglasses to avoid sun exposure so that when you arrive your body produces enough melatonin so you could fall asleep. When going to the east, on the contrary, increase your exposure to sunlight before and during the flight, if possible.

- Workout in the morning to build up energy and do not move excessively in the evening to avoid insomnia.

Besides these tips, you can also use some pills that will help you regulate the sleep-wake cycle:

- Take melatonin a couple of hours or an hour before going to bed to induce sleepiness. You can also take sleeping pills but melatonin is a more natural thing for sleep.

- If you arrive in the first half of a day, take half of Armodafinil (or generic Waklert) pill. It is a wakefulness-promotion medication that promotes wakefulness and improves cognitive functions. You can also take half of a pill or a pill the next morning or before a meeting if you have it on the first day in a new time zone.

Keep in mind that sufficient night sleep is crucial for coping with jetlag so you have to avoid drinking caffeine-containing drinks or stimulants in the second half of a day to avoid insomnia.

How can Waklert help you with jetlag?

The help of the medication is symptomatic, i.e. it can help you with jetlag symptoms such as sleepiness during a day and cognitive functions worsening. It is a medication designed for narcolepsy, a condition in which an individual’s brain naturally fails to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Previously, amphetamines were used for this condition but now Armodafinil, a much safer and non-addictive drug, is the first-line option.

Armodafinil or its generic form Waklert is widely used off-label, i.e. not only for narcolepsy but when a person didn’t get enough sleep, has an irregular sleep-wake schedule (for instance, shift work). Besides, it is even used as a “smart drug” as it enhances cognitive functions even if a person who takes it had enough night rest.

It is a perfect choice for people who travel for business and those who don’t want to waste several days of their vacation due to jetlag.

It is a commonly used medication by pilots, military, police, night shift workers, doctors, and so on. Basically, by almost everyone whose work requires alertness, speed of reaction, and other cognitive functions working at the fullest capacity even if it is a night shift or a 24-hour shift.

You may think that you can as well get other stimulants, for instance, caffeine. But check the contraindications and side effects of caffeine side by side with those of Armodafinil:
