I’ll help you skip the usual description of floating that always accompanies articles like these, and give you the relevant paragraph, below. Floating after a long flight can help speed your adjustment to a big time change. It’s been said that an hour of floating is worth 4 hours of sleep. IDK about that, but it sure is relaxing and restorative. I fly pretty frequently, and while I don’t have to deal with a large time change, I still get tired from even a short flight (and for some reason it hurts my neck). I always feel back to normal after a float.
“We all know that feeling of having jet lag (or simply exhaustion from traveling) take away from the first few days of an otherwise great trip. Catching up on sleep and trying to get into a rhythm in a new time zone after a long flight can take a few days — precious days that you could be using to explore and enjoy yourself! When I take a long international flight, I have a little jet lag trick that I use as often as possible: I book a session in a float tank immediately when I land at my destination. If I do a 60-90 minute float upon arrival, it always makes my body feel rested and rejuvenated from the long day (or days) of travel, and significantly reduces the recovery time I need to feel like myself again.”
