Understanding the Reality of Jet Lag

 This episode of The Flight Deck, hosted by Ivory, explores jet lag—an internal biological conflict caused by rapid time zone changes. It explains how our bodies' natural rhythms, controlled by the brain's internal clock, struggle to adapt quickly to new environments. Symptoms include fatigue, mental fog, hunger shifts, and emotional changes. The show examines why eastward travel is harder, the impact on flight crews, and strategies to reduce jet lag, highlighting the clash between fast travel and slow biological adaptation
