Travel Tips: Jet Lag
Photo by Donald Merrill on Unsplash Tips for Easing (and Avoiding) Jet Lag Over the years, we’ve done some traveling across time zones, and if there’s one thing that can really take the fun out of a trip, it’s jet lag. It seems that I suffer more from jet lag than John. I spend the first few days feeling like a zombie - totally wiped out, disoriented, digestive issues, and unable to sleep (even though I'm totally exhausted.) The jet lag can persist for days, sometimes, making it really difficult to get into the groove of travel. At times I've felt like I've finally adjusted when it's time to board our flight home.
