SWE42 Travel Tips part 1: The Fanny Pack

People who travel a lot will know the feeling — you've just landed in a country on the other side of the world, ready to explore and see the sights, but you're too tired to do anything!

Jet lag is usually linked with travel and changing time zones. But a new study has found that even small changes to our daily schedules can change our sleeping patterns.

And it's not just sleep that gets affected by a disrupted schedule — our bodies work differently when our daily patterns change.

The study, published in iScience, looked at how our bodies respond to a five-hour time change — similar to the kind of jet lag you'd feel after traveling from New York to London, for example.

It looked at people's circadian rhythm — our body's natural clock that controls when we sleep, when different hormones are released, and how our bodies use energy.

During the study, scientists observed 14 people in a lab for eight days.

On the first two days, the participants followed their normal daily schedules. But from the third day, the participants' meals, sleep and light exposure were changed to five hours later than normal.

The researchers tested the participants' blood and checked their digestion, energy use, and levels of melatonin — a hormone that helps control sleep by making you feel tired when it gets dark — to see how their bodies reacted to the time change.

The results showed that the five-hour time change made digestion slower, changed blood sugar levels, and affected how the body used fat. The body also burned less energy from food.

These things started to go back to normal after two or three days as the body adjusted to the new schedule.

One of the study's researchers, Jonathan Johnston, told StudyFinds this shows how sticking to a regular schedule can make a big difference to our health.

As a communication coach, I witness the transformative power of preparation in business communication.  Winging it might work occasionally, but for consistent success, pre-communication planning is your secret weapon.  Here are my top 6  tips to ensure you dominate your next meeting, presentation, or email exchange:

1. Know Your Audience:  This isn't a cliche; it's the foundation.  Research your audience's background, interests, and pain points.  Tailor your language and message to resonate with them.  Imagine explaining your idea to a friend – that level of clarity and connection is what you're aiming for.

2. Define Your Purpose:  What is the single most important takeaway you want your audience to have?  Is it to inform, persuade, or simply update?  Having a clear purpose keeps your message focused and avoids information overload.

3. Craft a Compelling Message:  Less is more.  Eliminate jargon and redundancy.  Structure your message with a clear beginning, middle, and end.  Practice your delivery beforehand, paying attention to pacing, tone, and body language.

4. Anticipate Roadblocks:  Forewarned is forearmed.  Think of potential objections or questions your audience might have.  Prepare clear, concise responses that address these concerns head-on.  This demonstrates confidence and proactive problem-solving.

5. Choose Your Weapon Wisely:  Not all communication channels are created equal.  Consider the purpose and audience when selecting your method.  A complex proposal might be best delivered as a written document, while a team update could thrive on a video call.

6. Embrace Technology:  Utilize presentation tools effectively.  Visuals can significantly enhance understanding and retention of your message.  However, avoid information overload –  keep slides clean and focused on supporting your core points.
