Jet Lag

Over the last 100 years, new technology has made it faster, easier, and far more common for people to travel internationally. But one challenge that technology still hasn’t overcome is jet lag.

Most people experience jet lag when they travel long distances and cross into a different timezone. Being jet lagged is basically like having the clock inside your body set to the wrong time. Symptoms usually include fatigue, trouble sleeping, and feeling generally out of sync.

Jet lag can put a damper on a fun trip, but some people find creative ways to deal with it. If you can’t sleep and you’re in a cool new city, you might as well go out and party, right?


Vocabulary

timezone = the local time in a region of the world

out of sync = disoriented, troubled

put a damper on = make something less fun

deal with = cove with, undergo, bear
