British Airways calls in specialist to find cure for jet lag

Airline Industry Information, June 30, 2005

British Airways has called in a sleep researcher to find a cure for jet-lag.

The six-month study by Dr Chris Idzikowski is to look at the differences that east-west and west-east flying has on the passengers' body clock, at best sleeping positions and the ideal time to take a nap to reduce jet lag, reported Reuters.

Before the cure is found, Idzikowski recommends a few steps to reduce jet lag: the passengers should not eat too much or drink alcohol during a flight, should wear comfortable clothing, and buy a pair of noise-reduction ear plugs.
