Your jet lag is worse than it should be, Qantas research claims

Travellers suffering jet lag are often their own worst enemies, avoiding methods proven to remedy the condition while exacerbating the punishment on body and mind by drinking too much booze during their flights. That's one conclusion from research Qantas and the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre have conducted on the ailment, carried out as the airline considers how to look after passengers if it launches ultra-long haul flights from New York or London to Australia's east coast. Researchers surveyed 500 passengers on international flight longer than 9 hours and found that while most people made some effort to reduce the effects of jet lag, they were avoiding the most effective strategies. <br/>
