Jet lag – Panama to U.K
filed in health, Traveling on Jan.28, 2010
When you travel over many time zones, your body clock reminds the same and it will take some time to synchronize. I traveled to the U.K last Friday and arrived on Saturday afternoon (1:00 pm), but my body clock has 9:00 am as the time. That day I went to bed around 8:00 pm and slept for only 4 hours, my body clock has the time as 6:00pm!!. By today, I am starting to sleep the entire night.
It is normal to feel disorientation, irregular sleep patterns, crankiness, fatigue. I have been feeling all of them since day one.
I did some research about jet lag and found the only remedy is to try to catch-up with the local time, I’m forcing myself to follow the local schedule; putting the right time on my body clock.
