As autumn approaches and Britons flock to warmer climates, a veteran British Airways pilot has revealed an unusual but effective method to beat jetlag—using nothing more than a coat hanger. While this may sound unconventional, it’s one of several practical tips the pilot recommends to help travelers adjust quickly and enjoy their trips from start to finish.
Jetlag can be a major hurdle for long-haul travelers, disrupting sleep patterns and causing fatigue. According to the pilot, the key lies in tricking your body’s internal clock. The coat hanger isn’t for hanging clothes—it’s cleverly used to stimulate certain pressure points that can encourage relaxation and enhance circulation, helping your body reset more effectively for the new time zone.
Alongside this simple trick, the pilot suggests adjusting your sleep and meal times gradually before traveling, staying hydrated, and making use of natural light exposure upon arrival to sync your body’s rhythm. These strategies combined can significantly reduce the effects of jetlag, allowing you to hit the ground running right after you land.
