Why do people get jet lag, and what can be done to reduce the effects of jet lag? In this episode, hear what Qantas is doing to help their passengers arrive fresh at their destination. With the introduction of new 787-9 Dreamliner planes and their ultra-long-haul route non-stop from Perth to London starting in March 2018, Qantas has invested heavily in strategies to reduce the effects of jet lag. You'll also hear from the developer of the Entrain app on using the app to manage light exposure before, during and after travel to help your body acclimatise to your destination time zone.
Dr Moira Junge (Health Psychologist) and Dr David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) host the monthly podcast, Sleep Talk, talking all things sleep.
