[HPFGU-OTChatter] Jet Lag

[Rena]

For me, going east is worse than going west. When I travel from Ca to
Germany, I usually arrive before noon and then have to keep myself
awake till evening. Most of the time I crash by 3 pm and then I'm
awake most of the night.
Going home is a breeze. I arrive in the late afternoon, early evening,
unpack shower and get some good sleep. No problem what so ever
Traveling form coast to coast is never a problem for me. Three hour
time difference is no big deal after learning to deal with a nine hour
time difference.

  I always find it more difficult to gain hours. Going east over the
  ocean, you sleep in the plane, and get up, and it's morning. Even I,
  who only sleeps a couple of hours - well, I stay up all day and the
  adjustmenbt is pretty well over.

  Coming west means I am awake for darned near 20 hours or something,
  and then I going to sleep when my body thinks it is 5 am and only
  sleep a few hours. I don't eat at the right times, and I and
  exhausted at 7 pm, and wake up far earlier than normal for about a
  week. Ugh!

  The question is, which way to most people feel is worse? East, or
  West?
