Jet lag (AKA desynchronosis) is described as “extreme tiredness and other physical effects felt by a person after a long flight across several time zones.” \u00a0While not everyone suffers from jet lag, it can certainly make travel unpleasant for others. \u00a0Interestingly, “the condition is not linked to the length of flight, but to the trans-meridian (west\u2013east) distance traveled.
