Jet lag happens when your natural sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm) is out of sync with the new time zone you’re in. It’s more noticeable when flying eastward or across several time zones. Symptoms include difficulty falling asleep at night, waking up too early, daytime tiredness, and trouble concentrating.
Jet lag treatments aim to reset your body clock more quickly. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate sleep. Supplementing with melatonin or Circadin can make it easier to fall asleep at your new destination and help reduce recovery time after long-haul travel.
Can you buy melatonin over the counter in the UK? No — melatonin is a prescription-only medication, and a consultation is required to ensure it’s suitable and safe for your needs.
Circadin 2mg is a prolonged-release form of melatonin that mimics the body’s natural production during the night. It is often recommended for adults over 55, but it may be prescribed off-label for younger travellers based on individual needs. It helps improve sleep quality and makes it easier to adapt to a new schedule.
Lifestyle tips can also support recovery: exposing yourself to natural light during the day, avoiding naps, staying hydrated, and adjusting your sleep pattern a few days before travel can all reduce symptoms.
