Trick Your Brain With Small Routines
Long-haul flights can mess with your sense of time, so creating micro-routines helps. Brush your teeth, stretch at regular intervals, eat at planned times, and treat sleep like bedtime at home. Performing these small habits tells your brain it’s a normal day. Use a sleep mask to simulate night, or open your window shade if it’s supposed to be daytime at your destination. These small adjustments anchor your mind and reduce anxiety, helping you feel more grounded and mentally stable during long hauls.
