no...its when your biological body clock is all messes up due to traveling to Europe or Asia...! I travel alot to Germany, but I got it all figured out....as soon everything is quiet down in the plane, I go to sleep...and wake up when I'm arriving in Frankfurt.....its usually 8am and I'm fit as a fiddle...


ps.

I use ear-plugs


lovely
you keep asking this Q or different forms of it you said you aunt said you might have it, so why dont you ask her

Jet lag is the body's reaction to time zone differences following air travel. Since flying is fast, your body does not have the time to adjust its circadian rhythm (which controls wake/sleep patterns through hormonal signals in your brain) to a new time zone. so it continues to follow the patterns of the old location....meaning u can often be sleepy in the afternoon and awake all night.

you feel behind or ahead in time, when you go from time zone to time zone... Some people do, some dont.

It just makes you feel really tire and it feels like you went back in time.

A temporary disruption of the body's normal biological rhythms after high-speed air travel through several time zones.

No it is not a disease. It is when your circadian rhythm is altered by change in time. Traveling across different time zones could cause this. Most people sleep for a day or two to get rid of it.

No, it is not a disease. It is a condition experienced by people who travel across time zones while they adjust their internal clocks from one schedule to another. The basic symptom is extreme fatigue, often coming on very quickly. For example, when I travel from the West Coast of the U.S. to Europe, or from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, as I did this summer, for several days I'm a little out of it and need to take naps at odd times. It doesn't do any permanent damage, except that you can miss a lot if you find yourself needing to sleep all the time.
