A Note from the Protocol Team
Why I created this challenge: As a seasoned traveler and social media influencer, I've noticed a recurring theme in my community: jet lag. Academic research shows that our body's internal clock is affected by the time zone changes we experience when traveling. Social media is filled with claims of remedies and quick fixes, but the truth is, there's a lack of evidence-based solutions. This challenge, the '24 Hour Trip to Paris' was born out of this gap. It's crucial we explore this issue scientifically to help all global travelers regain their rhythm and enjoy their trips to the fullest.
My Objective for You: The objective of this challenge is to understand how time zone changes affect our body clocks and to test the efficacy of popular jet lag remedies. Let's dive into this exploration together and find evidence-based strategies that really work. It's time to debunk the myths and find solutions that help us enjoy our travels without the burden of jet lag.
Aims & Objectives: The aim of this challenge is two-fold: first, to gather data on the impact of time zone changes on our body clocks; and second, to test the effectiveness of commonly suggested jet lag remedies. The objective is to establish a sound, research-backed understanding of how to tackle jet lag.
Significance & Impact: The impact of this challenge is potentially transformative for frequent travelers. A solution to jet lag can significantly improve the quality of travel, making it more enjoyable and less exhausting. However, it's important to note that individual experiences may vary, reflecting the limitations of this study. The expected outcome is a comprehensive guide on managing jet lag based on scientific evidence and personal experiences, offering a new perspective on travel wellness.
