Managing Business Travel to Maintain Peak Cognitive Performance
Business travel disrupts circadian rhythm, sleep, and nutrition. Protect cognitive performance through evidence-based travel health strategies.
Travel impacts on performance
Business travel reduces cognitive performance by up to 20% through circadian disruption, poor sleep, and dehydration. Frequent travellers who follow structured protocols including pre-travel preparation, strategic light exposure, and deliberate recovery maintain 90% of baseline performance.
