Jet lag from dry cabin air: Solutions to improve your in-flight comfort
There is a clear relationship between aircraft cabins’ extremely low humidity levels and worsened jet lag symptoms. The dry cabin air contributes to dehydration, fatigue, and disrupted sleep patterns, all of which can amplify the effects of jet lag. This article explores how CTT Systems’ Humidifier Onboard can help mitigate these issues, enhancing comfort, well-being, and health.
How dry cabin air affects your fatigue and sleep
Long flights often leave travelers feeling unusually tired and unable to rest. One of the main culprits is the extremely low humidity inside airplane cabins, which can drop to just 5%—far below the comfortable indoor range of 30–60%. This dry environment doesn’t just cause discomfort; it directly impacts your body’s hydration, energy, and sleep quality.
