Jet Lag Becomes Worse as One Becomes Older
Intercontinental travel is something I do quite frequently. Just in the past two years, I have flown multiple times between Asia and Africa, Africa and North America via Europe, and between the Americas. For all of these aside from the inter-American flights, the time difference between the origin and the destination is big enough to separate night and day. But with so many experiences under the belt, I generally is able to grind through the time difference, often by ensuring that no sleep is taken during the long flights across the continents, so that exhaustion means immediate sleep upon arrival at the accommodation at the destination.
