I learned so much watching this video. I never knew there was so much to jet lag. I guess im glad ive never had to fly anywhere let alone across time zones or different countries it sounds horrible and now i have a greater appreciation for anyone that has suffered with it. Good thing it doesnt last too long
So it's basically what anyone working a night shift feels like when they swap to a daytime schedule. You're tired but it's bright and you've already had a full day's worth of time awake.
Our worst jet lag happened when we went to Hawaii. It really took us about 2 days to catch up with ourselves. Should have had more water to drink on the plane as opposed to having a cocktail (or two) LOL! Thanks for the tips on how to deal with it.
I have flown a fair amount and personally, l think " jet lag" is over used, some people like to use the term to let others know they've taken a long trip. The term "Jet lag" actually started in the late 50s early 60s when flight crews, flight attendants were working long hours crossing different time zones without much of a layover, where tiredness and their circadian rhythm was thrown off, and is what happens when you have a layover of less than 24hrs. The last long trip l took in November of 2018 - taking me from Toronto to Iceland, Norway and finally Alaska which 10 hrs back, and with no sleep the night before, but l certainly did not have Jet lag; as soon as I got to Alaska l went to bed got up the next morning and was fine. I have a trip arranged for November of this year, hopefully - however as with any long trip, you should get sleep a couple of days before, but let's not make something out of nothing.
I got back home from the Philippines three days ago and I am suffering with jetlagged tremendously. The weird thing is, I will sleep for two hours, wake up very briefly, sleep another two hours, wake up briefly, sleep another two hours, and then before I know it when it’s morning, I would think I should feel well rested. Because during the times I was sleeping, it was deep sleep. But I feel so damn tired all day. Also, right now it’s 4 o’clock and it literally feels like nine. And it’s actually 5 AM in the Philippines right now, so I don’t think it has to do with me being used to Philippines time. I’ve just been up since 3 AM and I have felt exhausted ever since then. Like, I didn’t wake up at 3 AM and say “it’s great to be alive today, let’s start the day!” No, I have felt miserable since the moment I woke up. Also, I’ve done international traveling before in Europe. Never suffered Jetlag this bad
Me experiencing Jet lag: Travels on an 8 hour flight towards east, awake the entire time. 5 hour layover, fell asleep on final 3 hour flight. The time when humans actually lag.
I have always wondered the EXACTS about jet lag, I have NEVER experienced it.. I sleep like a baby when I fly. it has the same effect as driving a baby around in a car or a fan . Its like one huge sound machine with a perfect sway to knock me out..lol And I suffer from Insomnia . so A plane ride is a great power nap for me..Thanks for all the information.
Thanks, Cody, for this review. Red Bull in the US was originally a drink in Japan. The creator of Red Bull drank the Japan version before his flight to Austria from Japan. He had no jet lag so he contacted the man in Japan to purchase rights to make Red Bull in Europe. Neat story about how much jet lag can de-rail us that when we are NOT jet lagged, we notice it!
I have a harder time when I travel east versus west. When i travel west I go with the sun, and all I do is go to sleep about an hour before my normal bed time.
You are wrong about the East and West worse jet lag. Its happens due to Earth Magnetic fields are changed. That's why people who travel from West to East vice versa feel more problems.
I work early mornings and flying across the world to my family which is exactly 12 hours in front of me is always fun! I always try to make it to at least 9pm.
I had no idea how much jet lag effects people. Good to know to stay hydrated and to eat something. I suffer from insomnia so i know how it feels to be groggy. Very helpful and informative👍
LOL - I haven't travelled far enough away to experience jet lag, but can you get without travelling far away/ Because I'm pretty sure I've felt some of the symptoms hahaha.
These are really great tips. Personally, I find that hydration is key. I like the idea of getting used to the new schedule a few days before travelling.
I have had a mild case of jet lag before and the trip was only 4 days 3 nights. so by the time i got over it i was going back home. I did go to sleep at the same time everyone else did and woke up when they did to. It felt like a dream almost. Thats what jet lag felt like to me. Like I was there but my soul wasnt yet if that makes any sense.
Jet lag is why when I went to see my mom in Norway, she didn't plan anything on the first day or two. And when coming home, we'd take a day or two off.
Anyone else never traveled/experienced jet lag before but have sleep issues? I've been catching up on sleep debt since I've always had a terrible sleep schedule (it's 3am as I'm typing this).
Im jetlag now that's what brought me to this video. I just traveled from NJ to Greece and the difference is 7 hours ahead. Im so tired and this is day 3 of feeling like this. I wake up extremely early morning and during the day im tired. Im hoping this will end soon.
I am not here to offer tips on how to prevent and or cure jetlag. I am here to offer a simple experiment all air travelers can perform before and during your air travels. Get a weight scale that will easily fit in your backpack. Take an inventory of the clothes and accessories youre wearing and weigh yourself at the airport terminal before you board your flight and write what you weighed so you dont forget. After the aircraft gets to its maximum altitude get your scale out and weigh yourself again and write what you weigh at that altitude.The premise or assessment here is that Earth's magnetic field is more dense at ground level and so people and objects weigh more at sea level and weigh less the higher we get because Earth's magnetic field becomes increasingly less dense the further away we get from Earth. So air travelers are experiencing only partial gravitational forces unlike the astronauts who experience zero gravity at the ISS. So i guess you could say air travelers are mini-astronauts or astronauts in training..So partial gravitational forces being experienced by air travelers may be the cause of jetlag.
I've never even been on a plane and I'm 45yo! So I've never really experienced any jet lag...BUT, after watching this video I'll be prepared for when that ever elusive plane trip comes. Thank you! I guess the closest thing I've had to jet lag is when we turn the clocks forward 😂😉..haha..
I experience jet lag EVERY TIME I travel internationally (I also suffer mildly when I fly between the west coast and the east coast). My biggest problem is that I just cannot sleep during the flights - I tried a travel pillow, eat plugs, all sorts, nothing has worked so far. When I arrive at the destination, I just cannot have "short" sleep, in other words, I sleep as long as possible because I just cannot focus on anything. And it leads to a bad cycle/rhythm. It takes days for me to adjust. I noticed that my symptoms are much worse when I fly to Asia vs to Europe. Thank you for the good tips! I did not think about eating even when I am not hungry in order to adjust. I will try that next time.
All this time I thought jet lag was written "jet leg" and that it had something to do with legs as in how your legs feel after sitting in a tight seat airplane for a long time lol

Interesting facts about jet lag. I had not realized the importance of staying hydrated!
I had no idea that stomach issues were associated with jet lag, that definitely explains some things!

Yeah, it's basically your circadian rhythm getting clapped.

Boston to Maui was my worst flights resulting in jet lag. Upon arrival, we were exhausted and immediately went to bed.
I have a harder time when I travel east versus west. When i travel west I go with the sun, and all I do is go to sleep about an hour before my normal bed time.
I like how your clock was set to 4:20
I traveled from lax to Orlando, and back again after a few days. I had stomach bloating while I was there? Was that cause of jet lag??
Omg I was wondering what was going on with me, thank you 🙏🏽
Great information...thanks!
My internal clock has been broke for so long that I doubt jet lag would effect me 😂
Thanks for the info! 😊
Well done! 😊👍👍👍
I'm a shift worker, Ive been a shift worker for 8 years. Jet lag don't effect me.
Omg... I think iam always in jetlag... Even without traveling and being in room
I've never had jet lag before
when i go from bedroom to bathroom i feel jet laged
I don’t sleep at all on airplanes :-( I am no stranger to jet leg and it’s effects :(
im confused to your last answer
You are wrong about the East and West worse jet lag. Its happens due to Earth Magnetic fields are changed. That's why people who travel from West to East vice versa feel more problems.
Bro this jet lag makes me think imma die bro I be throwing up and have stomach problems
How long was the flight?
Haha the diarrhea part ain’t no joke! Glad it’s not just me
I don't sleep the same ever. I don't eat the same either. My body sucks ass....
im an expert on jetlag.
I work early mornings and flying across the world to my family which is exactly 12 hours in front of me is always fun! I always try to make it to at least 9pm.

LOL - I haven't travelled far enough away to experience jet lag, but can you get without travelling far away/ Because I'm pretty sure I've felt some of the symptoms hahaha.
may be than you can cure this by taking a long flight.
Its unbelievably painful 😢😢
These are really great tips. Personally, I find that hydration is key. I like the idea of getting used to the new schedule a few days before travelling.
I've Never been in a Airplane & will NOT be going on one!...
No need to worry then!
Im with you buddy. Flying machines of death and off the ground? No thank you.
I have had a mild case of jet lag before and the trip was only 4 days 3 nights. so by the time i got over it i was going back home. I did go to sleep at the same time everyone else did and woke up when they did to. It felt like a dream almost. Thats what jet lag felt like to me.

Jet lag plus heat is the toughest.
Jet lag is why when I went to see my mom in Norway, she didn't plan anything on the first day or two. And when coming home, we'd take a day or two off.
Anyone else never traveled/experienced jet lag before but have sleep issues? I've been catching up on sleep debt since I've always had a terrible sleep schedule (it's 3am as I'm typing this).
6:12 so if you’re traveling to the west jet lag won’t be as bad
Idk I didn’t suffer from jet lag when I went from AZ to NY. But was wrecked a few hours after I landed in AZ.
But i have a turbulance inside my body now the airplane is INSIDE my body
Im jetlag now that's what brought me to this video. I just traveled from NJ to Greece and the difference is 7 hours ahead. Im so tired and this is day 3 of feeling like this. I wake up extremely early morning and during the day im tired. Im hoping this will end soon.
