Jet lag is a short-term condition that may affect some people who travel across multiple time zones in a short space of time. There is no cure for jet lag but there are treatments that can help you adjust more quickly if you suffer from this.
Jet lag is the general feeling of tiredness, fatigue and disorientation after long aircraft journeys. Anyone can get jet lag, particularly older people.
Entering a new time zone means your usual day-night routine is out of sync. This confuses your ‘body clock’, causing jet lag. The direction of which you travel influences the severity of your symptoms. Travelling east means you lose hours so your day will be shorter and travelling west means you gain hours so your days will be longer. Travelling east is generally harder as it is harder to sleep at an earlier time than what you are used to.
Symptoms depend on how many time zones you have crossed but common symptoms include:
Other body functions may also be affected such as, your sleep habits, appetite and digestion.
