With irregular sleep patterns and a steady stream of new beds and sleeping environments, is easy to see how the business traveler can miss some Shuteye. This creates a vicious circle of constant fatigue, which leads to stress, and stress can contribute to the lack of sleep. You drink coffee to stay awake, but the caffeine keeps you awake and you dry! However, getting the best sleep possible a huge difference in your quest for a healthy lifestyle.

Scientists are aware of a phenomenon known as First Night Effect for several years. This is a common problem for all passengers – not being able to sleep in a new and unknown place. The name of this condition would suggest that only the night “the first” a traveler can experience lack of sleep, but some people never really sleep in new places.

A related condition is called On-Call Effect, where the stress has ended so you are constantly breaking out of REM sleep. It does not take a genius to realize that not getting enough rest not only affect your stress levels, but also your health.

Of course, one of the problems of composition is, again, time. If you are a crazy schedule, on and off planes at ungodly hours, you’re not exactly keep a regular sleep schedule. Some people can sleep on a plane, others do not. We all know that there is no comfortable place to rest in an airport! Backpackers can be wound into a corner on the floor, but I doubt if you find a professional to do it.

Business travel, even within the borders of the United States itself, the passage of time zones. The difference in time three hours from east to west may not seem like much, but again, the constant interruption of sleep patterns, and changing the game time zones havoc on your health – especially if you travel to regions of output as Hawaii or Puerto Rico.

Other physiological effects should be considered. Your hormones are affected by inadequate sleep, leptin and ghrelin in particular. Ghrelin is a hormone that signals the brain that is hungry. Leptin does the opposite and the brain tells the body is full or saturated. When you’re sleep deprived, often decreases ghrelin, leptin and increase, making you feel hungry and unsaturated, if you really need is sleep. So, getting enough sleep is also part of his battle against overeating. In general, in other words, not getting enough rest can also seriously affect your health.
