Sleep is the human body’s most effective process for restoring and rejuvenating the whole self – mind, body, emotions and spirit. However, as travelers cross time zones their natural sleep patterns are altered.

By listening to an audio program with stereo headphones, you can achieve brainwave rhythm states of alpha relaxation, theta meditation and deep sleep. These states of brain activity are ideal for learning new information, enhancing memory and retention, mental clarity, thought and creativity.

At the same time, the audio suggestions further the relaxation response for the body through the sense of sight, sound and touch.

How to Manage Travel Fatigue


The Transmeridian Traveler program acknowledges that managing fatigue during travel is a complex task, and no single approach or countermeasure will eliminate travel fatigue altogether. Operational demands, human physiology and individual differences are too complex for a simple mechanistic approach.

Since there is no simple answer, the challenge is to effectively manage alertness. Understanding the dynamics of travel fatigue is a crucial first step in managing it. The Transmeridian Traveler program integrates a macro/micro approach where travel fatigue is considered at all levels including:

  • Minimizing time zone change
  • Enhance feelings of well-being
  • Eliminating down time during valuable travel time
  • Preparing for your travels
  • Preventing health and psychological problems
  • Avoiding travel disruptions
  • Replenish and rejuvenate mind and body
  • Maximize your energy during waking hours
