How Jet Lag Affects Your Body
The gist
Jet lag happens because your body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm, is out of sync with the new time zone after traveling.
Explain like I'm 5
Imagine your body is like a clock that tells you when to sleep and eat, and when you fly far away, your clock gets confused and needs time to catch up.
Big picture
Understanding jet lag helps travelers manage their symptoms better and adjust more quickly, improving comfort and productivity after long flights.
