Top Deck

Dr. Lindsay Browning, sleep expert at Trouble Sleeping says that getting bright light exposure in the morning after a long-haul flight is one of the most powerful things we can do to boost our circadian rhythm. The deck of a cruise ship is a great place to maximize sun exposure which helps you adjust to an earlier time zone. 

Natural Light

Whether taking a stroll on deck during the day or asleep in your cabin at night, you’re exposed to ionized sea air while aboard. A 2015 National Trust UK study found that walking in sea air boosts sleep by an average of 47 minutes. 

Dine In

Fill up on fresh melatonin-rich foods such as melons or berries when you board. These foods can help regulate sleep habits. Relax and rest and when you’re ready, do some gentle exercise like walking, yoga and swimming which helps manage circadian rhythms.
