Frequently Asked Questions
Why is eastward travel associated with worse jet lag?
Traveling east shortens your day, requiring you to advance your circadian clock (fall asleep earlier), which is biologically more difficult than delaying your sleep cycle when traveling west.
How long does it take to fully recover from jet lag?
As a rule of thumb, it takes roughly 1 day per time zone crossed traveling east, and 1 day per 1.5 time zones traveling west.
