This photo was taken in June 2007 in Australia. We were flying in a small plane just around some parts of Australia and this was exciting and fun. By then I had recovered from the jet lag as we were flying from England, via America (other some other part of the world) to Australia. I was just glad that we always stayed 4-5 weeks there. I am not sure what it is but I hate jet lag. Not enough sleep is my worst nightmare. I hate the feeling of being so tired, drowsy and weak. I feel for people who have a sleeping disorder, can not imagine having this all the time. I LOVE MY SLEEP!
From the Mayo Clinic:
Jet lag, also called jet lag disorder, is a temporary sleep problem that can affect anyone who quickly travels across multiple time zones.
Your body has its own internal clock (circadian rhythms) that signals your body when to stay awake and when to sleep. Jet lag occurs because your body’s clock is still synced to your original time zone, instead of to the time zone where you’ve traveled. The more time zones crossed, the more likely you are to experience jet lag.
Jet lag can cause daytime fatigue, an unwell feeling, difficulty staying alert and gastrointestinal problems. Jet lag is temporary, but it can significantly reduce your vacation or business travel comfort. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to help prevent or minimize jet lag.
