Travelling on plane fatigues your body (even a 4-5 hours ride!). How to beat it?

Even a 4 to 5 hours flight can create havoc in your body and you end up reaching your destination looking tired. Not a good first impression, you want to make, especially if you are meeting your loved ones and working colleagues.
- Because of the compressed pressure in cabins. It is de-hydrating.
Solution: hydrate throughout flight. Limit caffein intake. Alcohol is not recommended.
Solution: make friends or at least smile at your fellow passengers. It "loosens" us up.
- steal sleep whenever you can if you are on short flights, even if it means napping for 15 minutes. Because that sets your biorhythm to "relax and refresh" mode.
So arm yourself with the earplug and eyeshades an comfy travel pillow.
You end up not being able to sleep, if your mind is racing with worries about home or when you are home sick.
