If you're planning on travelling this month for your summer holiday, then jet lag might be something you're worried about, especially if you're flying across the globe on a long-haul trip . Moving across timezones can make you feel exhausted and throw off your sleep schedule in a major way, leaving you struggling to get to sleep at 2am in your destination and dozing off at midday.
But one woman has come up with a simple trick which will guarantee you get off your flight feeling "refreshed" and well-rested, with no hint of jet lag in sight. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.

. 'I'm a travel guru – I always use this hidden iPhone feature to check my flight' In her video, she explained: "If you're travelling and going on a long haul flight, this is how you're going to feel amazing, well-rested and re-energised after the flight. I just got off my first 11-hour flight, and I feel well-rested and excited to be alive.
"The first thing I did was manually switch my phone and watch time to be the time of my destination. The flight took off at 10am in London, which means I set my phone and my watch to 2am LA time. So then I was like, at 2am in LA, what would I be doing? Sleeping.
So I let myself sleep for four hours." Kylen said because she wanted to have a productive morning on the plane and a productive day when she got back to LA, she allowed herself to sleep until what would be 6am in LA. This meant she wouldn't be as exhausted when she landed, but she'd be tired enough to go to bed that evening at a reasonable time.
The hack could stop there if that's enough for your travel needs, but Kylen went on to say she spent the remaining seven hours of her flight being as productive as possible. @kylenct Everyone told me my 11 hour flight would suck but I cant wait for the next one!! #traveltips #longflight original sound - Kylen Don't miss..
. Benidorm resident explains what locals really think of Brits after protests People are mistaking idyllic UK seafront location for Santorini Man on flight 'escorted off by security' after huge row erupts over plane seats She said she doesn't often watch TV or films at home to relax, so she didn't want to do that on the plane either as she knew that would make her more tired. However, she insisted that if you find this "restful", then by all means "go for it".
Kylen, however, chose a different approach. She decided to spend time doing a "digital declutter" on her phone, which involved going through her photos and clearing out things she doesn't need any more, deleting apps she no longer uses, and checking through her notification settings. For the remaining five hours of her flight, Kylen listened to an audiobook that she had downloaded before the flight.
She said doing this helped her stay focused, but if she ever lost concentration, she would return to decluttering her phone to give herself a break before diving back into the book.

" Commenters on the post said they couldn't wait to try out the hack the next time they were on a longer flight, with some flight attendants even saying they wish they could follow Kylen's advice. One person said: "Love this! Going to do it when I go to Europe, thank you!" And another added: "I'm long haul cabin crew and I wish I could do this the whole flight. I have to be up for 75% of the flight.
