The “Jetlag Master: Staying Fresh Across Time Zones” course is a specialized microlearning program designed for flight attendants. Its goal is to deliver complex information about jetlag in short, impactful modules of 2 to 4 minutes, providing immediately applicable strategies for their professional lives. The course uses a modular structure, offering learners the flexibility to consume content during breaks or while on the go.
The curriculum is logically divided into ten modules. It starts with the scientific fundamentals of jetlag and its effects on the human body. Building on this, it provides practical strategies split into three phases: pre-flight, in-flight, and post-arrival. These phase-specific tips cover everything from adjusting your sleep schedule and hydration to practical techniques like “light therapy” using sunlight.
The course also delves into advanced topics, such as the role of nutrition, the specific differences between eastbound and westbound flights, and sleep optimization strategies. Each module includes a brief, interactive quiz to reinforce learning and check for understanding. The objective is to provide participants with not just theoretical knowledge, but a complete toolkit to effectively minimize jetlag symptoms, maintain performance, and promote their overall health and well-being.
