I'm not sure what to attribute it to... not enough sleep, dehydration, not moving around, all of the above...
Wondering if anyone else gets these and if you have an idea what could be causing it.
Thanks
I get similiar feelings at times. Just breathing in the recycled cabin air with of course a whole host of germs does the body no good. Make sure that you stay hydrated. If find that drinking juice helps. Avoid excessive drinking (more than two drinks). Try to get up and walk around time from time.
Also, you have not indicated your general overall health but I find staying in good physical shape helps me content with the long days of travel with multiple of long flights.
Finally, you are AA/PLT but don't say whether you are an AC member. When I connect through an AA hub if time allows I always take a hot shower. That without a doubt gets the "cobwebs" out of my system.
